Omeros
Omeros

Circular epic exploring loss, exile, and history.

"Omeros" is an intriguing read for those who appreciate poetry that weaves together historical narratives with personal sagas. Its unique circular narrative structure captures the cyclical nature of history and personal struggle, making it resonate with anyone fascinated by the interconnectedness of global and individual experiences. This book offers a profound journey through the repercussions of colonialism and the path to individual identity, elegantly bridging the capacious sweep of epic tradition with the intimate details of human endurance.

Description

A poem in five books, of circular narrative design, titled with the Greek name for Homer, which simultaneously charts two currents of history: the visible history charted in events—the tribal losses of the American Indian, the tragedy of African enslavement—and the interior, unwritten epic fashioned from the suffering of the individual in exile.
