- More about Entering Sappho
Sappho is an abandoned town named for the classical lesbian poet. This book combines documentary and speculation to survey a century in reverse, exploring why it was settled and what other futures might be possible.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 112 pages
Publication date: 26 November 2020
Publisher: Coach House Books
Driving along the Pacific Coast Highway, you come to a road sign: Entering Sappho. Nothing remains of the town, just trash at the side of the highway and thick, wet bush. Can Sapphos breathless eroticism tell us anything about settlement? About why were here in front of this sign? Mixing historical documents, oral histories, and experimental translations of the original lesbian poets works, this book combines documentary and speculation, surveying a century in reverse. This town is one of many with a classical name. Take it as a symbol: perhaps in a place that no longer exists, another kind of future might be possible.
