French poet Marie-Noelle Agniau's English-language debut is a surreal and haunting work of transfiguration and rupture inspired by Ovid's Ocyrhoe. The Escapades builds on the Greek myth of a woman transformed into a horse by the obscure machinations of the Fates to tell the story of a human soul, both man and woman, that wanders among animals and children, haunted by the loss of its name, body, and voice. Agniau's eminently humane surrealism articulates questions of profound importance: the place of silence and speech, absence and love, in a troubled world.\n\nThe Escapades\n\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPlease note that the price advertised is as low as we can go, we do not accept offers.\n\nFrench poet Marie-Noelle Agniau's English-language debut is a surreal and haunting work of transfiguration and rupture inspired by Ovid's Ocyrhoe.
