Sappho's raft : le rideau de la Mytilénienne (Jargon 99)

1982

Jargon 99. Frontispiece by David Hockney. Meyer's poetry here explores the dialectic between the vulnerability of human life and the striving for heroism in a disappointing, powerless modern era. Meyer describes his relationship to Sappho’s poetry as “upheaval, the ache of indifference, the ecstasy of embroilment,” implying that her raft is adrift in a chaotic ocean of discovery.;Two copies, hardcover. C.1, special cloth edition is signed and numbered 15 of 50 handbound and signed copies. C.2 is one of 450 bound in cloth over boards; numbered 46. An additional 1000 copies were bound in paper; not in library.
