- Book Synopsis
- 'Katabasis' means a descent, the sinking of the winds or sun, a military retreat, a trip down into the underworld. This mythopoetic and experimental sequence of poems, texts and translations links the ancient Sumerian epic of the Descent of Inanna, the story of Scheherazade, and neo-colonial violence as a consequence of contemporary military occupation.
