Lupa & Lamb

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 Musaeum Matricum, and Latin poet, Sulpicia, travellers Diana and Agnese are led through the mythic archives about wolves and sheep before attending an epoch-breaking party to which they are invited by Empress Livia.
