This collection of imagist poems combines mythology, archaeology and translation. Susan Hawthorne draws on the history and prehistory of Rome and its neighbours to explore how the past is remembered. Under the guidance of Curatrix, Director of the Musæum Matricum, and Latin poet, Sulpicia, travellers Diana and Agnese are led through the mythic archives about wolves and sheepbefore attending an epoch-breaking party to which they are invited by Empress Livia.
Reading Susan Hawthorne’s Lupa and Lamb, I was transported back to a time of wondering and wandering. Where bones and museum artefacts lose their dryness, become fully fleshed and whisper their stories intimately in your ear. Here the full pagan glory of Italy meets the inquisitive and absorbing gaze of Australian poet Susan Hawthorne’s eye. Heartbreaking, sensual and unexpectedly funny.
–Kavisha Mazzella, singer and songwriter
