Description
Omeros is a poem in five books that charts two currents of history: the visible history of events and the interior epic fashioned from the suffering of the individual in exile. This work explores the interconnected lives of people affected by historical loss, including the American Indian and African enslavement. Written in English, Omeros is published by Faber & Faber and consists of 325 pages. The book is available in paperback format. This poem offers a unique perspective on the human experience, weaving together personal narratives with broader historical contexts to create a rich and complex work of poetry.
