Sommaire
Civil war runs amock in a city where people have kept on dancing instead of heeding the portents around them. A modern day Aeneas flees -- with his past (his father Anchises) and his future (his son), his wife (Creusa) and his best friend (Achates) in tow. Their exile, gathering other lost ones but losing Creusa and Anchises in the fray, takes them to a land where plants leak blood, to a beach where well-off vacationers cannot face the horror they represent, to a refugee encampment where all hope has disappeared, to a momentary halt in an unwelcoming city where Aeneas runs out of will power. A highly physical and richly imagistic epic of violence, courage, doubt, and tenacity, Kemeid's Aeneid grapples with the most awful realities of the twenty-first century.
