"Myth of Myself" is a collaborative work by poets, writers, artists and musicians, Andy & Kelly Cook. Each author attempts to Express the Inexpressible through artwork, dreams, and stream of consciousness writings - Andy through his poems, and Kelly through her story, "Daughter of Dionysus". By turning the inward out, they explore the questions: What have we knowingly or unknowingly believed about ourselves, and each other? What will we pass on to future generations? ..... "Myth of Myself" is by two artists---in the broadest sense of the word---who are living their own dream with guts and character. In this book they visit intellectual and psychic realms, bringing back a collaborative essence of The Divine as only two people deeply in love with Life can do. This is a chapter in an ambitious project that is playing out in their writing, visual art and music, and it will certainly be appreciated as such." D. Minton, author of "Monk Without a Church" ..... "Andy and Kelly Cook are an artistic dynamic duo hailing from the fertile, artistic goldmine known as Kentucky. Andy, the multi-instrumentalist, poet, artist; and Kelly, the prolific writer and photographer. This is a deeply personal tome that makes us pause, reflect and take notice. It is a testament of their collective genius. Bravo!" Frank Messina, The New York Mets Poet ..... "Andy & Kelly Cook are two exceptionally gifted Multi-Artists. When two creative minds join together the 3rd Mind arises...Enjoy the Ride." Michael Dean Odin Pollock, Sonic Shaman/Poet/World Citizen ..... "Knowledge, from the inception of Modernism and through postmodernism to The Ocean of Consciousness, is reorganized, redefined through literature, art, music, film. The genres are changing, the canons are exploding, as is culture. The mythopoetics, the privileged sense of sight, of modern, contemporary, avant-garde poets, musicians, artists, filmmakers, are examples of art forms of a society, a culture, a civilization, a world, in which humanity lives, not securely in cities nor innocently in the country, but on the apocalyptic, simultaneous edge of a new realm of being and understanding. The mythopoet, female and male, Kelly and Andy Cook, returns to the role of prophet-seer by creating myths that resonate in the minds of readers, myths that speak with the authority of the ancient myths, myths that are gifts from the shadow." Ron Whitehead, The Storm Generation Poet
