The Half-Life of Oracles

By Sarah Feldman

The Half-Life of Oracles speaks from a way-station between mortals and immortals, a place where the strangeness of daily life meets the intimacy of distant ages. These are poems in which the living and the dead play endless games of musical chairs, emperors and philosophers wage war against rivers, and dusty incantations for achieving immortality are reborn as pick-up lines. By turns tender and thundering, capable of calling the gods down from Olympus if necessary, The Half-Life of Oracles charts with lucidity and intensity the cross-pollination of memory and myth.
