Descripción de [SPL] May 2014: Jenny Lewis

When we think of World War One, our images of the conflict is largely shaped by those of the Western Front or perhaps Gallipoli. It was a truly global conflict, however, and one less remarked upon campaign was that of an Anglo-Indian force despatched to what is southern Iraq today, to secure oli supplies. Perhaps because the campaign turned into something of a disaster. Poet, playwright and songwriter Jenny Lewis' father fought as part of that force. Her new collection Taking Mesopotamia (Carcanet) reimagines the campaign using her father's diaries. It also takes in more recent wars in the region as well as the story of Gilgamesh, the ancient Sumerian warrior king, to create a vision of mankind that repeatedly fails to learn the lessons of war. Lewis took time out from the StAnza poetry festival, where she was appearing in March 2014,to talk to us about war, oil, myth, and the gods.
