The center of \u003cem\u003eChimera\u003c\/em\u003e engages with a three-year field research project on the goat-herding practices of the Vlachs, a nomadic people of Northern Greece and the Southern Balkans, who speak their own language. In these poems, day-to-day activities such as shearing and shepherding mix with snippets of conversations, oral tradition, and song-locating a larger story in this ancient marriage between humans and animals. Through her poetry and fieldwork, this mytho-historical connection between metamorphosis and utterance takes form in what the Greek newspaper \u003cem\u003eKathimerini\u003c\/em\u003e calls \"a bold achievement….a studio wherein poems and other texts, other voices, become exhibited.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Phoebe Giannisi, Brian Sneeden\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780811237826\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20240925\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42850400632893,"sku":"9780811237826","price":25.16,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9780811237826.jpg?v=1766615469","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/chimera","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
