As the poem threads draw together, it is as if the protagonist, in his travels through the twentieth century, encounters Odysseus, Cervantes, Columbus, Rembrandt, and others, all moving in multidimensional synchronicity. In this way, the readers take part in the production of meaning by pulling the threads together, stitching together their own reading of the story. Through the reading of these threads, time remains fluid, creating a masterful declaration about the function of poetry: perhaps history is nothing more than the presence of innumerable human voices, some more and some less powerful, coexisting in an eternal present.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 228mmItem Length: 152mmAuthor: Eleni KefalaTranslator: Peter ConstantineContributor: Peter Constantine (Translated by)Genre: Poetry & DramaRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
