a Matter of Oracles

After graduating, Tilōno is excited to begin her career as a librarian, hoping to focus on life sciences research support — her passion. But when she receives news of her appointment, she finds herself summoned to the Hall of Oracles, a secure collection that holds many centuries of texts collected from oracular sites around the world. Just as she is starting to settle in, a reference question leads her into the stacks to find precious books sabotaged and pages missing. To solve the mystery and safeguard the Hall’s critical collections, Tilōno must join forces with Tilsa, the Hall’s inexperienced new director. Together, they must navigate their differences to unravel the truth of what happened.

Acts of Speech

Acts of Speech is a volume of religious poetry that explores performative, public, and private religious speech and how they construct identity and difference. It blends praise poetry primarily in honor of various Hellenic Gods, including Apollon, the Mousai, Hermes, and Mnemosyne, with more private poems in a tense dance of parasociality and intimacy. Above all, it is a time capsule of experiences frozen in syllable, verse, and image.
