Description

Chimera is Phoebe Giannisi's third collection in English, exploring a unique blend of field recordings, state archives, and ancient texts. Her latest work delves into the goat-herding practices of the Vlachs, a nomadic people of Northern Greece and the Southern Balkans.

Through her poetry and fieldwork, Giannisi weaves together day-to-day activities with snippets of conversations, oral tradition, and song, revealing a larger story in the ancient marriage between humans and animals. This fusion of everyday life and mytho-historical connection takes shape in a bold and innovative collection.

Published to critical acclaim as a finalist for the PEN Award for Poetry in Translation, Chimera is a thought-provoking exploration of language, culture, and the natural world.
