This three-part book of poems is a learned journey to the authentic voice of the Ancient World, focusing on Rome and Greece. With language used as labyrinth, these poems crisscross the narrow alleys and byways of antiquity, then follow the pulse of these early civilizations through the Medieval, before nesting in a modern view tinged with reverence for our past glories and failings. The book is a metaphorical Colosseum of its own hand-placed brick of words with a touch of old Roman concrete and limestone, as porous and crumbled at the edges as time's treasured monuments.
