Summary:"Historiae is a book of poems concerned with contemporary issues such as environmental devastation, the aftermath of colonization, and the European immigration crisis. Yet the book's focus is always on the deeply rooted history, and natural history, of such issues, and the poet's interests extend to cosmology, physics, and classics. Here Anedda juxtaposes poems of public concern to poems of family history, including a series of moving elegiac poems regarding her mother's death and insightful lyrics set in Sardinia and Rome. The title comes from the ancient historian, Tacitus, who figures in the book as a prophet of the recurrence of violence and exile in human history"--
