Another Babylon
A rare and unexplored world—where mythology and family converge—is brought to life in this poetry collection. Sensuous and deeply original, this work evokes tradition and fantasy while underscoring the intimate pulses of family, loss, and memory. With refreshing directness, the ancient world is reimagined; gods steal fruit from a man’s garden and long-haired goddesses sit on windowsills to eat chestnuts. This exciting compilation mixes ancient Babylon with the humble elements of daily life, bringing a rich new meaning to them all.

Loved the use of rhyme throughout many of these poems. Nothing too obvious and forced and predictable, but a subtle internal rhythm that was pleasing to the ear. Many of these poems made me think deeply about loss, life, how short it is, the impermanance of the body, and its limited purpose as a vehicle for the soul.
