Descripton of Book Wake, Siren: Ovid Resung :
in fierce textured voices the women of ovid s metamorphoses claim their stories and challenge the power of mythi am the home of this story after thousands of years of other people s tellings of all these different bridges of words gotten wrong i ll tell it myself seductresses and she monsters nymphs and demi goddesses populate the famous myths of ovid s metamorphoses but what happens when the story of the chase comes in the voice of the woman fleeing her rape when the beloved coolly returns the seducer s gaze when tales of monstrous transfiguration are sung by those transformed in voices both mythic and modern wake siren revisits each account of love loss rape revenge and change it lays bare the violence that undergirds and lurks in the heart of ovid s narratives stories that helped build and perpetuate the distorted portrayal of women across centuries of art and literature drawing on the rhythms of epic poetry and alt rock of everyday speech and folk song of fireside whisperings and therapy sessions nina maclaughlin the acclaimed author of hammer head recovers what is lost when the stories of women are told and translated by men she breathes new life into these fraught and well loved myths
