And Aeneas Stares Into Her Helmet - Paperback
by Tiffany Higgins (Author)
Winner of the 2008 Carolina Wren Press Poetry Contest
This is Aeneas, once son of Venus, now a warfighting daughter of America deployed 'from Charlottesville to Fallujah, ' straining in the thick of modern war's most perverse miasma. Tiffany Higgins' anachronistic and recast hero is one brilliantly charged nexus of exploitation and war; she is captured, tortured, and released as a sequence of heart-breaking lyrics. A stunning book. --Patrick Herron, author of The American Godwar Complex
