Gilgamesh’s Snake and Other Poems - Middle East Literature in Translation Bilingual edition
Ghareeb Iskander
In this luminous bilingual collection of poems, Ghareeb Iskander offers a personal response to the The Epic of Gilgamesh. Iskander’s modern-day Gilgamesh is a nameless Iraqi citizen who witnessed the fall of the dictatorship, who exists in a constant state of threat, and who dreams, not about eternity, but simply about life.
