In Katerina Anghelaki-Rooke's poetry the body, myth, the soul, nature and
language are deeply entangled concepts. Yet her poetry is passionate and
direct: 'I am not interested in distorting reality when I play with
language.' With translations by such notables as Kimon Friar and Rae Dalven
as well as the editor, this is the most complete picture yet of this major
Greek poet.
