Synopsis

A sweeping dramatic poem that blends ancestry, faith, and world travel into one grand voyage.

This edition invites you to follow a multilingual chorus of voices as they dream of lands from Jerusalem to Greece and Rome, and return to a homeland built on legends and praise. Rich with earnest longing, it pairs intimate family moments with a larger panorama of history and myth, all conveyed in formal, lyric verse.

  • A vivid journey through ancient lands and timeless questions about identity, belonging, and ambition.
  • A chorus of travelers and friends that frames personal yearning against epic-scale events.
  • Scenes of reunion, conflict, and reconciliation set in a ceremonial, ceremonial-poem style.
  • Lyrical language that blends biblical imagery with classical allusions to Greece and Rome.
Ideal for readers who enjoy historical-poetic drama, mythic motifs, and family-centered storytelling told in a sweeping, stage-ready voice.
