Sappho’s Gymnasium

Written as if by two students of Sappho in ancient times, fragments of whose work have survived, these poems offer brief, mysterious glimpses of a world beyond our ordinary reach… The poems read like translations from a language of ourselves that we can only begin to decipher. Their fragmentation embodies the human condition of brokenness, mortality and limitation. Yet the combined voice of the two poets also offers a prayer for healing, a hymn to the possibility of wholeness through love, through a difficult faith, and through poetry.
