'Brilliant poems of complex, haunting power... Averno may be
Gluck's masterpiece' The New York Times Book ReviewAn acclaimed
collection from the Nobel prize-winning poetThis startlingly
original reworking of the Persephone myth takes us to the icy
shores of Averno, the crater lake regarded by the ancient Romans as
the entrance to the underworld. Here, the consolations of rebirth
and renewal are eclipsed by the immediacy of loss - by a mother's
possessive grief, an abducted girl's equivocal memories, a farmer's
lament for a lost harvest. This chorus offers neither comfort nor
solace but deepened understanding, its sorrow textured by the
poet's luminous wit. Together, the poems of Averno swell to a
staggeringly powerful lamentation, through which the reader
glimpses the ecstasy of the inevitable, only to find it resisted by
the insistent, impersonal presence of the Earth.
