Eurydice in the Ruined House
“These incredibly powerful poems go to the core of what it is to exist, with a dark optimism of self, against The Fates.”
These poems trace the wreckage of passion, loss, and dislocation with fire, grace, and grit... The name Eurydice, from eurys (wide) and dike (justice), is charged here: a reckoning with gendered silencing and the systems that shape voice, place, and power. This is a triumph of vision, craft, and execution
