Book Description
Rich as Georgia clay, Salt of the Dancer: Selected Verse is a fusion of mythological motifs, classic literary themes and modern pop sensibilities. It is concerned primarily with the working class hero whose bless-ed journey, with its many trials and tribulations, is the stuff of mortal heartbreak and the envy of the Gods. Upon reading, its credo is clear: Life's sacred. Life's profane. Life's the thing! Each poem is a song of heartbreak with one objective: to drive the reader head-over-heels into a SWOON accompanied by the customary physical effects-rosy cheeks, wet palms, and weak knees. "En this Life En this gorgeous irony Amid the heavyscented arpeggios Of blackbyrds & Angels wrestling En a drunken slumber Eye am not to be the river of all things Eye am not to be his little girl" -From the poem Sappho Beautiful, Sexy, and sometimes Cruel, Salt of the Dancer: Selected Verse paints an intimate portrait of the Soul's epic struggle with the powers and principalities of Love and Death. And, in doing so, unites the beauty and terror of existence, and trumpets the need for a brave new humanism, and a renewed love affair with the deeds and misdeeds of Man.

Book Description
With concern to Greek literature and particularly to 5th c. BCE tragic production, papyri provide us usually with not only the most ancient attestation but also the most reliable one. Much more so when the papyri are the only or the main witnesses of the tragic plays. The misfortune is that the papyri transmit texts incomplete, fragmentary, and almost always anonymous. It is the scholar’s task to read, supplement, interpret and identify the particular texts. In this book, five Greek plays that survived fragmentarily in papyri are published, four by Aeschylus and one by Sophocles. Three of them are satyr plays: Aeschylus’ Theoroi, Hypsipyle, and Prometheus Pyrkaeus; Sophocles’ Inachos belongs to the genre we use to call ‘prosatyric’; Aeschylus’ Laïos is a typical tragedy. The author’s scope was, after each text’s identification was secured as regards the poet and the play’s title, to proceed to textual and interpretative observations that contributed to reconstructing in whole or in part the storyline of the relevant plays. These observations often led to unexpected conclusions and an overthrow of established opinions. Thus, the book will appeal to classical scholars, especially those interested in theatrical studies.
