Fates: The Medea Notebooks, Starfish Wash-up, and overflow of an unknown self

Descripción:

In Fates, three poets ? Ann Pedone, Katherine Soniat, and D.M. Spitzer ? weave destinies by reimagining stories from the past. The books of Fates resist retellings. Instead, they reopen stories we have been carrying with us. They explore the limits and possibilities of form, testing the poetic line. And they invite new voices to disturb the universe. Each book, at once a daring translation and a rich original work of art, offers a distinct poetic voice. Yet, when read together, the books of Fates transform into a collective love song, three disparate poets all singing resolute, all singing luminous. N° de ref. del artículo CIN1736494686G
