DEATH OF PERSEPHONE: A MURDER
An award-winning Canadian poet reimagines the Greek myth of Persephone in her 2024 release from Caitlin Press.
“Hardboiled detective tropes meet classical myths and free-form poetry. A breathtaking work of imaginative cross-pollination.”
Will Ferguson, Giller Prize-winning author of 419
“In Death of Persephone, Blomer stalks back alleys, asking urgent questions: Why is the violence against women and girls in myth still haunting us today?... Blomer walks us out of the old story and into this essential retelling.”
Ariel Gordon, poet and author of Fungal: Foraging in the Urban Forest.
Stylistically varied and engaging, an excerpt from this long-form poetry book won the Gwendolyn MacEwen poetry prize in 2021.
