D. M. Spitzer's collection unfolds a poetic engagement with the GreekOdysseywithin the framework of the ancient epic: twenty-four books and a well-known and complex narrative architecture. The poems inhabit a range of voices and perspectives drawn from both the world of Homer'sOdysseyand from that of the poet-as-reader. Each poem inA Heaven Wrought of Ironoffers a fresh approach to-and in collaboration with-theOdysseyby weaving together translated fragments from the Greek text with a sequence of poems drawn from a close reading of and an imaginative, intellectual engagement with theOdyssey. | A Heaven Wrought Of Iron by D.
