Through the lenses of a thousand metaphors, author Blake Henderson emotionally recounts the dying days of a marriage, the dark landscape of its ruin, and the process of rebuilding in its rubble. "Galatea In Ivy" avoids advising the wounded and instead extends a hand in companionship to anyone familiar with defeat, depression, or despair.

Henderson presents the arc of his divorce through the ancient myth of Pygmalion, a near-sighted idealist in idolatrous love with a picture of love he himself created. A compelling read for anyone kindred with grief or looking to explore the paradoxical landscape of meaningful tragedy.
