Holy moly, just finished Medea last night and I gotta say…it did not dissapoint. Perfect in and out of the classroom as well as for theatrical performance, this faithful translation succeeds like no other. Stallings examines the complex and multifaceted Medea in patriarchal ancient Greece. An introduction by classicist and poet A.E. In this stunning translation, poet Charles Martin captures the rhythms of Euripides’ original text through contemporary rhyme and meter that speak directly to modern readers. At its center is Medea herself, a character who refuses definition: Is she a hero, a witch, a psychopath, a goddess? All that can be said for certain is that she is a woman who has loved, has suffered, and will stop at nothing for vengeance. A barbarian woman brought to Corinth and there abandoned by her Greek husband, Medea seeks vengeance on Jason and is willing to strike out against his new wife and family-even slaughtering the sons she has born him. Renowned poet and acclaimed translator Charles Martin faithfully captures Euripides’s dramatic tone and style in this searing tale of revenge and sacrifice.The Medea of Euripides is one of the greatest of all Greek tragedies and arguably the one with the most significance today.

In the fall, readers will find once again find Eloise at Christmastime (first published by Random House) in bookstores, and, next spring, Eloise in Moscow. In addition, Eloise in Paris will be reissued.

And even while deeply mourning his father, he pulls a Neruda and writes funny, sly odes to the ordinary, focusing on food, metaphors for desire, the life force, and death's endless consumption." -Booklist " perhaps the most prominent African American poet of his generation.
