Less a guide in aquatic fluency, more ruminations on the fluidity of time and the ebb and flow of memory, Heather Momyer’s How to Swim
is a collection coursing through histories of love and fantasies of
normal life. Her poetic prose cradles characters struggling by land,
sea, and air to affirm identities while attempting safe passage to the
ever elusive home. Copilots dangle on the edge of intuitive ether and
mortal romance. A neologistic dragon dreams of tattoos, bondage,
itself. Sister mermaids of a fractured tale lament the ones that got
away. How to Swim sources stories and legends familiar to us
all, but nothing is more familiar than the anxiety and exhilaration it
sources from falling free."
