Named a Most-Anticipated Book of 2025 by Debutiful
Part myth retelling, part character study, this sharp, visceral debut poetry collection reimagines Helen of Troy from Homerโs Iliad as a disgruntled housewife in 1990s Tennessee.
In the hills of Sparta, Tennessee, during the early nineties, Helen decides to break free from the life that stifles her: marriage, motherhood, the monotonous duties of a Southern housewife. But leaving isnโt the same thing as staying goneโฆ
Rooted in a lush natural landscape, this stunning poetry collection explores Helenโs isolation and rebellion as her expansive personality clashes with the social rigidity of her small town. In richly layered poems with settings that range from football games to Chuck E. Cheese to the bathroom of a Motel 6, Helen enters adulthood as a disaffected homemaker grasping for agency. She marries the wrong man, gives birth to a child she is not ready to parent, and embarks on an affair that throws her life into chaos. But she never surrenders ownership of her story or her choices, insisting to the reader: โif you never owned a bone-sharp biographyโฆ / i donโt want to hear it. i want you silent. / i want you listening to me.โ
Blurring the line between mythology and modernity, Helen of Troy, 1993 is an unforgettable collection that shows the Homeric Helen like sheโs never been seen before.
