This blog is a philosophical exploration of the Song of Songs. My project explores a Cixousian (écriture féminine) encounter with biblical literature along subjective existential lines. In particular I am exploring life, meaningfulness, encounter and freedom as these contradict death, absurdity, separation and oppression. This discourse with the Song of Songs & other biblical texts seeks the critical moment that sparks transformation in the present.

Sappho
I now have Barnstone's translation of the poems of Sappho (Barnestone, "The complete poems of Sappho" Boston: Shambhala, 2009) and will redirect my search to earthing out some other ancient feminine voices by which to compare Shulamith.
