Homerica by Phoebe Giannisi
$16.00
The first English translation of Phoebe Giannisi—one of Greece's foremost poetic voices—offers a contemporary Odyssey of loss, longing, motherhood, and metamorphosis, the poems re-weaving classical mythology with modern experience.
The mythic characters and scenes of Homerica never feel otherworldly — rather, they appear alongside the tugboat, the bicycle, the television, and the helicopter. Brian Sneeden’s masterful translation captures the Delphic rhythms of Giannisi’s oracular poems, which rarely travel in a straight line but rather glide across multiple threads of time, like a loom interweaving strands of the mythological past.
