Mythweaver

By Birch Wiley

Book Overview

"Mythweather," as translated from Sappho by Anne Carson, is one of the ancient Greek poet's names for Eros. These poems are an act of mythweaving, meant to blend stories ancient and new. How do we make sense of the way violence, transformation, and passion impact queer selves and lives? Reconsidering the stories of the Minotaur, Achilles and Patroclus, Cassandra, and many other Greco-Roman mythological figures, these poems don't just retell these stories in a contemporary queer context, but consider how, reimagined and renewed over millennia, they resonate with our lives now.
