About This Book

In poems initially inspired by Aeschylus' fifth-century B.C. trilogy "The Oresteia, " which chronicles the fall of the House of Atreides, Loose Strife investigates the classical sense of loose strife, namely "to loose battle" or "sow chaos, " a concept which is still very much with us more than twenty-five hundred years later.
