A rare and unexplored world where mythology and family converge is brought to life in this poetry collection. Sensuous and deeply original, this work evokes tradition and fantasy while underscoring the intimate pulses of family, loss, and memory. With refreshing directness, the ancient world is reimagined; gods steal fruit from a man’s garden and long-haired goddesses sit on windowsills to eat chestnuts. This exciting compilation mixes ancient Babylon with the humble elements of daily life, bringing a rich new meaning to them all.

About the Author:

Review:
"Directly yet subtly it enters our nervous systems to speak of how he breathes, what is vital, and how startling it is to live attentive to the spirit of life. It is a world that has not been copied and its poetry is proof that ‘our perfect self is awaiting us.'" —Thomas Shapcott Poetry Prize judges
