  *SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2022 FORWARD PRIZE FOR BEST FIRST COLLECTION* *A Poetry Book Society Special Commendation*
  
  Seaweed and sunburn. The death of a fridge. A 'pie-faced' St George upstaged by the horse.
  
  The English Summer confronts the illusions and paradoxes of history in poems that reimagine medieval anchorites and 18th-century follies, zombies and the Megabus.
  
  This is a landscape populated by overcrowded urban bedsits and burnt-out country piles, where ghosts of the past are sensed beneath dual carriageways and old gods emerge from rotting bindweed.
  
  Visceral and analytic at turns, Hopkins' startling collection probes at the undergrowth of English culture; a white-hot debut by a poet of singular vision.

  "Sing, O Muse, of the rage of Achilles—and the man of many wiles."
  
  Experience the dual masterpieces that have shaped the world's imagination for millennia. The Iliad plunges you into the final weeks of the Trojan War, where the demigod Achilles faces off against Hector under the watchful, meddling eyes of the Olympian gods. It is a visceral exploration of glory, grief, and the brutal reality of combat. The Odyssey picks up the threads of the war's aftermath, following the hero Odysseus on his ten-year struggle to return home to Ithaca. Battling cyclopes, sirens, and his own pride, Odysseus's journey is the ultimate testament to human resilience and the longing for home.
  
  The Heroic Code: Homer defines what it means to be a hero through two distinct archetypes: Achilles, the embodiment of kleos (eternal glory through strength), and Odysseus, the master of metis (cunning and intelligence). These works examine the cost of greatness and the inevitable tragedy of the human condition.
  
  The Divine Theater: The Trojan War is not just a human conflict; it is a game played by the gods. From Athena's wisdom to Poseidon's wrath, the epics illustrate a world where destiny is woven by divine hands, yet human choices still resonate through the ages.
  
  Witness the birth of storytelling. Purchase "The Iliad & The Odyssey" today and walk among legends.
