Synopsis
A powerful and compelling epic poem, written while thousands of Syrian refugees were enduring frightening journeys across the Mediterranean. Set out like a Greek tragedy, it is dramatic witness to the horrors suffered by Syrian families forced to flee, seen through the eye of history, the poetry of Sappho and the travels of Odysseus. Shortlisted for the Sarah Maguire Prize for Poetry in Translation (2021).
