Songs and Stories of the Ghouls, Hardback Book

Songs and Stories of the Ghouls Hardback

Hardback

Description

Left dead after our cultures were broken by triumphant enemies, our stories changed to suit others.

We now change them again to suit ourselves. Songs and Stories of the Ghouls purports to give power to the dead-voices to the victims of genocide both ancient and contemporary-and presence to women.

Medea did not kill her sons; Dido founds a city, over and over again, the city of the present author's poetry.

In these poems the poet asserts that though her art comes from a tradition as broken as Afghanistan's statuary, there is always a culture to pass on to one's children, and one is always involved in doing so.

We are the ghouls, the drinkers of the blood-sacs, and we insist that we are alive.
