Winner of the Tennessee Book Award * Named a Best Book the Year by The New Yorker, NPR, Electric Literature, and more! Zoccola has beautifully and resourcefully reimagined this mythic materialZoccolas Helen has succeeded in joining her mythic forebear. The New York Times Book Review, Editors Choice Part myth retelling, part character study, this sharp, visceral debut poetry collection reimagines Helen of Troy from Homers Iliad as a disgruntled housewife in 1990s Tennessee.In the hills of Sparta, Tennessee, during the early nineties, Helen decides to break free from the life that stifles her: marriage, motherhood, the monotonous duties of a Southern housewife. But leaving isnt the same thing as staying gone Rooted in a lush natural landscape, this stunning poetry collection explores Helens isolation and rebellion as her expansive personality clashes with the social rigidity of her small town. In richly layered poems with settings that range from football games to Chuck E. Cheese to the bathroom of a Motel 6, Helen enters adulthood as a disaffected homemaker grasping for agency. She marries the wrong man, gives birth to a child she is not ready to parent, and embarks on an affair that throws her life into chaos. But she never surrenders ownership of her story or her choices, insisting to the reader: if you never owned a bone-sharp biography / i dont want to hear it. i want you silent. / i want you listening to me. Blurring the line between mythology and modernity, Helen of Troy, 1993 is an unforgettable collection that shows the Homeric Helen like shes never been seen before.
