Loose Strife

Zusatztext

In poems initially inspired by Aeschylus' fifth-century B.C. trilogy"The Oresteia," which chronicles the fall of the House of Atreides,<i>Loose Strife</i> investigates the classical sense of loose strife, namely"to loose battle" or"sow chaos," a concept which is still very much with us more than twenty-five hundred years later.
