Bag om Hypatia's Wake

"This compelling new poetry collection presents Hypatia of Alexandria, the Neoplatonic philosopher, astronomer, and mathematician who was murdered by Christians in the fifth century. The dearth of fact and truth about her has led to many false and fanciful representations of Hypatia. Hypatia's Wake addresses these and the reliable truth about her life. The double bind, a situation in which a person is given two different messages one of which negates the other, features largely in Hypatia's Wake. It links Hypatia's life and example to Luce Irigaray's philosophical theory. If you're a woman you're damned if you fail at philosophy, but also if you succeed at it. If we make amends to history and the river of time by waking Hypatia's death, we wake up to her life, and the significance of our loss."--
