Description
The poems in Ithaca Island Bay Leaves weave the mythic into the every day. Characters from Greek mythology appear in present-day Wellington, while the poet's grandparents and mother become characters in a magic-real mythology. This debut collection has been described by Stephanie de Montalk as alive 'with acute observation and insight, and the warmth of Vana Manasiadis's alluring, poetic voice'. Hand-bound paperback. Limited edition.Author description
