1 author picked Enkidu Is Dead and Not Dead / Enkidu esta muerto y no lo esta as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
On my list, this is the only book of poetry, but the emotional journey its linked poems chart makes it perfect for inclusion.
Gilgamesh finds his wild friend Enkidu, loves him, loses him—and is racked by grief. The poems bear us through myriad forms of yearning for a bosom companion who will never come home—a plot of emotions, not events.
A finalist in the Grayson Books Poetry Contest in 2020, the inventively structured book features each poem in English and Spanish on facing pages.
From Dale's list on little stories that link to tell big stories.
