A reclamation of personal lineage – Sirenland is a mythic conversation across time with the poet’s ancestors from the Bay of Naples, Italy. Ancestral spirits rise from sea caves and memory – as the poet reimagines her grandparents as sirens, singing stories long submerged.
In this collection, the sirens are not feared monsters but radiant guardians of land, sea, and keepers of thresholds. Though the sirens’ voices have been silenced over centuries, these poems listen deeply, inviting their songs to be heard by all who are ready to receive them.
