Introducing our Translation Choice for Winter 2025: Goatsong by Phoebe Giannisi, translated by Brian Sneeden.
The ancient Greek word for tragedy (τραγωδία) is a compound of goat (τράγος) and song (ᾠδή). In Phoebe Giannisi’s Goatsong, the seam that connects human and animal, myths and history, is the body.
Published by Fitzcarraldo, and selected for us by Shivanee Ramlochan, Goatsong brings together three of Giannisi's seminal collections, Homerica, Cicada, and Chimera, in this gloriously polyphonic volume.
