Description
Â
Infused with a brutal passion, The Antigone Poems is a stark and powerful collection of poems and charcoal drawings. An intensely personal invocation of the ancient Greek tragedy, the work was created in the 1970s while writer Marie Slaight and artist Terrence Tasker were living in Montreal and Toronto. A bold retelling of the ancient tale of defiance and justice, its poetry and images capture the anguish and despair of the original tale in an unembellished modernized rendition.
Â
The Antigone Poems provides a special expedition into the depths of the ancient Sophocles tragedy.
