Orpheus and Eurydice: A Graphic-Poetic Exploration by Tom de Freston, with Kiran Millwood Hargrave
£60.00
Orpheus and Eurydice: A Graphic-Poetic Exploration by Tom de Freston (with text contributions including from wife Kiran Millwood Hargrave) retells the classic myth through art and words, blending de Freston's evocative black-and-white illustrations with poetry and critical essays to explore themes of love, loss, memory, and the enduring power of myth, pushing beyond a simple retelling into reflections on the spaces between self, death, and history, with contributions from various thinkers. It's a unique, experimental work that uses the tragic story of Orpheus's descent to the underworld to rescue Eurydice to investigate contemporary concerns and the myth's lasting cultural resonance.
