Bookmarker's Notes
Beautiful and vivid and fierce. Captures so much of what I love about the Sumerian afterlife, and with fantastically rich characterizations.
All these things came to Ishtar as her due. Hers were the couplings, the swollen bellies, the boughs heavy with fragrant fruit. Under her regard, the land prospered.
Yet Ishtar was not content. Night after night, from the dark house in the great city, she heard the laments of her sister Ereshkigal, queen of the underworld. Sweet was Ereshkigal's voice, like the mourning of birds. She sang of men forced to say farewell to their sweethearts, of women wrenched from their lovers' laps, of children torn untimely from their mothers.
Night after night, Ishtar heard her sister's voice. -

Bookmarker's Notes
Astonishingly authentic-sounding, and beautiful and heart-stopping and lovely. Another one of those authors whose use of form truly adds volumes to the piece.
The sea was vast and deep, sailed and swum by gods and mortal creatures.
But Irkalla under the mountain was unlike the sky, earth, or sea. -
