Using a mixture of poetic forms varying in subject, shape, style, and size, purl reimagines timeless myths from Homer's Odyssey. Stitched from classical translations, this poignant collection from Michele Evans, resurrects feminine forces from ancient Greek mythology and relocates them in modern portraits and landscapes, pastoral and urban. Invoking Phillis Wheatley Peters as her muse, Evans amplifies a chorus of the marginalized: queens and maidens, mothers and daughters, wives and mistresses, goddesses and slaves, "muffled voices rarely heard."
