Beskrivelse af The Brittle Gods
The Brittle Gods includes 38 poems celebrating collisions – sometimes jarring - of ancient with modern Greece. For example, in poem “Dionysos in Aulis,”
... holding the wheel very tight, staring
straight down the road remembering another time,
when sails hung loose days after weeks,
impatient generals sharing nods.
We did
what we had to, then slapped our shields
on swaying hulls for luck, sails snapping like dogs
Agamemnon remembers the sacrifice he had to make [killing his daughter] so his fleet could sail against Troy.
