An intensely personal invocation of the ancient Greek tragedy, The Antigone Poems 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.

I haven't read a lot of poetry in my life so this is a little difficult for me to review. I also don't know much about the Sophocles tragedy in which this book was inspired by. The poetry written in this book, although very dark creates a lot of imagery. The artwork didn't capture my attention. I do like that the poetry is someways could be seen more realistic or metaphoric. Thank you so much for Netgalley and An Altaire Publication for sending me this book to review.
