Reflections on a lost Poem and its rediscovery by contemporary poets Gilgamesh is the most ancient long Poem known to exist.
Acclaimed literary historian Michael Schmidt provides a unique meditation on the rediscovery of Gilgame.
Lost for centuries to the sands of the Middle East but found again in the 1850s, it is a story of monsters, gods, and cataclysms, and of intimate friendship and love.
It is also the newest classic in the canon of world literature.
