Jared Pearce has a new poetry book out called "Down Their Spears."
Told in a single poem, "Down Their Spears" is a Latter-Day Saint cosmogony. Each of the poem's nine sections is told by a different speaker in a different place at a different time, from sixth century BCE India to nineteenth century Illinois, and each speaker offers a different part of the myth that weaves religious, historical, and mystical characters, scenes, and ideals to tell the story of the history of the universe through a novel, Mormon perspective.
