Sappho and Homer - A Reparative Reading

Juxtaposing Sappho and Homer within the embrace of a non-hierarchical, 'reparative reading' culture, as first conceived by queer theorist and poet Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, this book reintroduces readers to a Sappho who supplements Homer's vision, allowing for a sustaining, collaborative way of reading both lyric and epic.
