Beschreibung

More Than Weeds, the debut poetry collection by L. Kiew, explores the language of migration and how it is used in relation to plant and animal species, as well as peoples. These knowledgeable and verdant poems draw deeply on botanical and ecological detail and reveal secret histories thriving in the gaps between definitions; here are precious seedlings, unforced flowers, tongues of leaves, tangled roots and rhizomes.
With roots in decolonialising botany and horticulture movements, and influenced by the impact of the climate crisis and regenerative gardening practices, Kiew's poetry is alive and thronging with the interconnected nature of things – and the formative forces of nurture, family, food, refuge and love. Human and plant voices speak for themselves of experiences of belonging and displacement, as well as encounters with violence. These vivid poems that ask us to scrutinise what is really contained or constrained by demarcations – whether those of weed or wildflower, or of borders and hostile environments.

    "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.
