Illustrated by
Josée Masse.
As in Mirror Mirror and Follow Follow, two sides of fourteen familiar Greek myths are presented in Singer's inspired, accessible reverso-poem pairs: the lines of the second are the same but in reversed order, with punctuation changes affecting meaning and perspective. Summaries of the myths appear in footers. Drenched in Mediterranean turquoise and golds, the rich acrylic illustrations "echo" the symmetry.
