Homerica Yanko Gonzalez

Homerica Yanko GonzalezPhoebe Giannisi The first English translation of one of Greeces foremost poetic voices, now in a revised second edition, offers a contemporary Odyssey of loss, longing, motherhood, and metamorphosis. The mythic characters and scenes of Homerica never feel otherworldlyrather, they appear alongside the tugboat, the bicycle, the television, and the helicopter. Brian Sneedens masterful translation captures the Delphic rhythms of Giannisis oracular poems,

including his own word-for-word renderings from German into French of more than a dozen of his poems

baffling productivity

een besneeuwde stad vol tastbare littekens van het geweld uit het verleden

in these poem-essays that swerve from memory to love letter to argument

From the Portuguese countryside and roaming sheep of 1914

through counter-memories

discussions

it is meant to be read for plot

maar ook over vitaliteit in alle gedaanten

earthbound and dishing our wages to bad clouds whose storage leaked plastics and chemicals in the ocean around us

Livia Azevedo Lima)
