Description
Beneath A Nekyiad Simon Perril's new collection explores the tangled roots of ancient Greek lyric poetry. It is the twin to his previous work, Archilochus on the Moon, and delves into the underworld story known as a nekyia. In this book, Perril examines the arrival in Hades of Neobulé, a figure from classical antiquity who was called off at her wedding, leading to a famous poetic outburst. The collection voices Neobulé's gradual understanding of shadehood and her place in the world beyond death. Through his exploration of this ancient rite, Perril sheds light on the complexities of human experience and the power of poetry to convey the depths of emotion.
