| Sumario: | The poet weaves together fragments of myth and memory, summoning the works of Ovid, Homer, and James Joyce to spin a story of violence and the female body. Introducing the recurring lyre figure in the collection - a voice to counter the violence - is Ovid's Philomena, who, while cruelly rendered speechless, nonetheless sets the reader on a voyage to discover the body through music, art, and language. Other legendary figures making appearances within - Telemachos, Nestor, Cyclops, Circe, and others - are held up as mirrors to reflect the human form as home. |
