New life update #blog post!!

I'm in a transitional period in my life, moving from #Germany to #Spain, and I wanted to express more deeply what the immigration experience means for me. As well as what home means.

I've structured my post to mirror #Virgil's #Aeneid, taking inspiration also from #UrsulaLeGuin's #TheDispossed and #Dante's #inferno.

The journey I want to talk about involves geographical displacement, but the real distance travelled takes place inside.

Reading the #Aeneid for the first time in over 20 years... Back when I was a student of Classics, we all tended to prefer Homer, but after all these years, I'm literally falling in love with #Virgil.

To think that he intended for this work to be burned to ashes after his death...

Is there NOTHING that this cretin won't try to wreck?? #Aeneid #Classics

The Missing Lines:

Though once I tuned my little song
On slender reed, before too long
I left the forest hills behind,
And lulled the nearby fields to mind
The eager husbandman, a pleasant
Profession for the simple peasant.
But now I sing of dreadful war:
Arms and the man from Trojan shore.
