He came after Homer and before Gertrude
Stein, a diffi-cult interval for a poet. Born about 650 B.C. on the north coast
of Sicily in a city called Himera, he lived among refugees who spoke a mixed

and aware that anything can happen. Words bounce. Words, if you let them, will
do what they want to do and what they have to do. Stesichoros’ words were
collected in twenty-six books of which there remain to us a dozen or so titles
and several collections of fragments.
