About This Book

A poetic reimagining of the legendary first woman follows her from a luminous paradise through a dispute over equality with the first man, to estrangement and exile into a shadowed wilderness. Lyrical descriptions of the garden and of wandering landscapes alternate with introspective passages that voice pride, solitude, and maternal longing. The poem interweaves mythic narrative, folklore, and reflective monologue to examine intellectual independence, popular superstition, and the ache of loss, and it seeks to humanize and redeem an ostracized figure by restoring tenderness through the recurring image and song of the lullaby.
