Summary:Zusammenfassung: "Jessica Elbert Decker is a modern muse. Writing with passion and luminosity, Decker creatively weaves psychoanalysis, philosophy, and poetry into an original reading of Greek figures, giving new voice and power to the feminine." —Shannon M. Mussett, Professor of Philosophy, Utah Valley University, author of Entropic Philosophy: Chaos, Breakdown, and Creation "Decker’s use of Sappho to unchain Western thought from its legacy of androcentric fantasies is an urgent contribution to our shared future. This brilliant book weaves a poetic counternarrative where nature is no longer only teleological, desire is no longer meant to destroy or be destroyed, and a multiplicity of subjects are henceforth freed to be as they are." —Chelsea C.
