White Whale: Ahab and Moby foundering in the desert.
White Whale is a poetic tale of obsession, survival, and redemption — set in an ocean of dust. Ahab and Moby are trapped. One of them is dying.
From the pages of White Whale:
come moby
swim
dive
below the surface
and
sound your song
dive
you beautiful
pale fool
dive
if you languish
you will surely
die
and that
is not acceptable to me
swim
damn you
become
of-the-sand
your appointed task
is to be hunted
by me
I demand
you swim
White Whale: literary interpretation with a beating heart
White Whale is a psychological and philosophical journey inspired by T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land, and a poetic homage to Melville’s Moby Dick.
Frank Prem’s free verse draws the reader into a world of dust, myth, grief, and survival — a passage through despair toward redemption.
