Heliodora, and Other Poems

A striking mix of original verses and deft translations, this collection invites listeners into a world where ancient myth and modern imagination intertwine. The poet’s own pieces shimmer with crisp, imagist detail—cold rivers, holy satyrs, and moonlit gardens—each line a finely cut fragment that captures a fleeting sensation.

Interwoven with these are re‑imagined fragments from the Greek Anthology, from Sappho’s whispers to Meleager’s epigrams, rendered with fresh lyricism that honors their classical roots while speaking in today’s voice. The translations sit comfortably beside new poems about love, loss, and the quiet power of nature, offering a seamless dialogue between past and present. Listeners will find a tapestry of delicate images and resonant moods that linger long after the final stanza, making the experience both contemplative and richly rewarding.
