In A Girl Loves a Girl , British poet Jeremy Reed revamps Sappho, the legendary archaic Greek lyric poet from the island of Lesbos.
As a pioneering reaction to academic attempts to literally recreate a poetry that exists only in fragmentary form, he remakes and expands on the possibilities of meaning.
As with all his audaciously frontline poetry and fiction, Reed places history as now in the present, mediated over by update, rather than consigned to the irretrievable past.
