Human mortals take on four forms in Greek mythology: the fool, the villain, the tragic figure, and the hero. Oh, how they toiled at the gods' whims. So let's honor them with some poetic portraits. In this collection of clerihews, Micheal Sears empowers, dismisses, lauds, condemns, and, most importantly, laughs at all these long-dead people.

Micheal Sears is a pen name for the author, video essayist, and musical theatre composer Jarred Corona. While Corona tends to focus on longform projects, the Sears philosophy is to write, write, write. Here, we stretch together. We reach beyond our bounds to new areas. We strengthen muscles we never knew we had. I'm Micheal, and I want to drown in a sea of my own art. Let the flood commence.
