Protectress

Protectress is a hybrid poetry-prose novella offering a risky take on the legend of Medusa. With stunning economy of words and a delicate hand, Protectress provokes us to think about the feminist identity and the power of compassion. Readers who fell deeply for Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey, Margaret Atwood's The Penelopiad, Madeleine Miller's Circe, Emily St. John Mandel's Station Eleven, Maria Dahvana Headley's translation of Beowulf, and Toby Barlow's Sharp Teeth will find themselves enamoured with Protectress.
