The EscapadesMarie Nolle Agniau (trans. Jesse Hover Amar) French poet Marie Nolle Agniaus English language debut is a surreal and haunting work of transfiguration and rupture inspired by Ovids Ocyrhoe. The Escapades builds on the Greek myth of a woman transformed into a horse by the obscure machinations of the Fates to tell the story of a human soul, both man and woman, that wanders among animals and children, haunted by the loss of its name, body, and voice.
