Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Lost Ghosts of Lemnos is a mediation on the tragic and variously religious or metaphysical deep pasts of Greek, Roman, Chinese, Japanese, and Nordic poetries and fragments of poems or plays whose implicit voices are summoned to the present through the re-creations of memory, not through translation but a dialogic, free rendition of them, making new poems from old ones. Among its reimagined voices are those of the Greek tragedians, Horace, a few of the earliest Chinese and Japanese poets, and the lays and sagas of Northern Europe.
