Marilyn Singer has created yet another collection of her ingenious reverso poems, this time holding up the mirror to classical Greek myths. Each tale is told in a single poem that, when read in reverse, reveals another meaning. As with Mirror Mirror and Follow Follow readers will delight in uncovering the dual points of view in well-known legends such as Pandora’s Box and Echo and Narcissus, among others. Thoughtful explanatory notes about the original myths accompany each poem, and acclaimed artist Josee Masse’s clever paintings—these in sun-drenched Mediterranean hues—contribute beauty plus visual meaning.
From the acclaimed author of Mirror Mirror comes a new book of reversos, this time based on Greek myths
