 An exceptional work in which the author incorporates excerpts from Archilochus, Empedocles, Homer, Hesiod, and Sappho—among others—and which has caused a sensation in the United States
 and in her native Greece.
 It comes as no surprise that Gannisi’s most significant attribute is her style. 
*Rhapsody* not only teaches us about classical literature but also shows us how to play with it and make classical material accessible. Her approach to poetry is reminiscent of Anne Carson,
 in the sense that she demystifies the things we all ought to know. She extends a bridge toward knowledge.

The art of poetry lies in transforming the everyday into something transcendent, and this transcendence is found in the gaze of one who views the things of the world poetically.
This is Giannisi’s achievement; this is her voice. And this is how she conveys the depth of her vision to our own era, inviting us to move forward through an exercise of contemplative,
conscious observation.Translating this contemporary poet is no easy task. Here, it is worth highlighting the apt precision of Vicente Fernández González and Ioanna Nikolaidou.
Without their meticulous work and detailed analysis, this book would not be the precious gem we hold in our hands today.
