    "Agamemnon" is the first of the three linked tragedies which make up "The Oresteia" trilogy by the ancient Greek playwright Aeschylus. Trilogy as a whole, originally performed at the annual Dionysia festival in Athens in 458 BCE, where it won first prize, is considered to be Aeschylus' last authenticated, and also his greatest, work.
    "Agamemnon" describes the homecoming of Agamemnon, king of Argos, from the Trojan War, and his return to his wife, Clytemnestra, who had been planning his murder (in concert with her lover, Aegisthus) as revenge for Agamemnon's earlier sacrifice of their daughter, Iphigenia.

    Poetry. A form of words that seems so elegantly simple in one verse and so cleverly complex in another.  Each poet has a particular style, an individual and unique way with words and yet each of us seems to recognise the path and destination of where the verses lead, even if sometimes the full comprehension may be a little beyond us. 
     
    Through the centuries every culture has produced verse to symbolize and to describe everything from everyday life, natural wonders, the human condition and even in its more hubristic moments, the crushing triumph of an enemy. 
     
    In the volumes of this series we take a look through the prism of individual regions of the United States through the centuries and decades. 
     
    The United States may be many things: the world’s policeman, a bully, a shameless purveyor of mass market culture but it also, in its better moments, a standard bearer for truth, transparency, equality and the more positive qualities of democracy. 
     
    Little wonder that’s its poets are rightly acknowledged as wonders of their art.  Leading lights in the fight against slavery and for equality, even if the rest of the Nation is finding it problematic to catch up.   
     
    In this volume we have collected verse from poets born in Pennsylvania, one of the most famous states of the Union.  Its proud and illustrious history shines out through verse by such illustrious and venerated names as Stephen Vincent Benet, Louisa May Alcott, Wallace Stevens, Hilda Doolittle, Henry Van Dyke, and others as they explore its status, its nature and its role in shaping the world of verse.

    The KongPoWriMo 2020 Anthology is a careful curation of poems from the inaugural KongPoWriMo (Hong Kong Poetry Writing Month), a month-long writing challenge and online community for poets with ties to the city. The poems included in this Anthology are amongst those selected for feature on each day of the month, with contributions being made through community submissions in response to the 30 original prompts.
    
    Written in the midst of a pandemic and period of political unease in the region, the chosen poems take on myriad forms and touch on themes ranging from language, culture, tradition and the authoritarian state; and raises above all- the spirit of the city.
    
    In the words of Hong Kong poet and contributor Akinsola Jeje- the anthology "engenders a feeling of community" and is an "avenue of expression" which "gives credence to the truism that art is vital" in these uncertain times.
    
    We hope that the KongPoWriMo 2020 Anthology will be a testament not only of the resilience of the city's people, but also the resilience of the written word in a world which clamours for hope and light.
