Edited by Philip Walsh and Rachel Hadas

A Folded History, cover

A Folded History: Poems and Mythologies features poems and postludes from a special issue of The Classical Outlook, with a bonus interview with editor Phil Walsh and illustrator Emma Hunter. This libellus ("little book") features forty-eight poets, including Chris Childers, Julia Griffin, Charles Martin, and A. E. Stallings, and it presents remarkable creative and critical engagements with the ancient Mediterranean world and its reception. Introduced by editor Rachel Hadas, A Folded History will be a worthy addition to your bookshelf, local library, and syllabus.
