{"product_id":"greek-to-me-9781946104526","title":"Greek to Me","description":"In his exciting new book of poems and retrospective reflection, West Coast poet and devout philhellene Joe Safdie engages compellingly with various Hellenic myths, and by doing so offers the reader a fresh and creative way of approaching Greek antiquity. Though most characters in the poems evidently are Hellenic, the style of the book is conversational and its idiom quintessentially American, recalling the poets of the New York School and the countercultural movement. I find this fascinating. Safdie naturally masters the uniquely poetic art of interweaving disparate realities. Greek to Me blends and blurs historical timelines, geographies and cultures into an innovative brew joining together fragments of the two outer edges of Western civilization: the US of today and Greece of old.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joe Safdie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Chax Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 6.11w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781946104526","brand":"Chax Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46836624588937,"sku":"9781946104526","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_cd747379-a0cd-4919-a90f-c1e3da1a1ad5.jpg?v=1780441308","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/greek-to-me-9781946104526","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
