Greek Poetry In The Age Of Ephemerality Sarah Nooter by Sarah Nooter instant download after payment.

This book suggests that poetry offers a way to remain in the world –
not only by declarations of intent or the promotion of remembrance,
but also through the durable physicality of its practice. Whether
carved in stone or wood, printed onto a page, beat out by a mimetic
or rhythmic body, or humming in the mind, poems are meant to
engrave and adhere. Ancient Greek poetry exhibits a particularly acute
awareness of change, decay, and the ephemerality inherent in mortality.
Yet it couples its presentation of this awareness with an offering of
meaningful embodiment in shifting forms that are aligned with, yet
subtly manipulative of, mortal time. Sarah Nooter’s argument ranges
widely across authors and genres, from Homer and the Homeric
Hymns through Sappho and Archilochus to Pindar and Aeschylus.
The book will be compelling reading for all those interested in Greek
literature and in poetry more broadly.
