Reviews for Gilgamesh: A Verse Play
"Unique, powerful, and beautifully succinct, this Gilgamesh is marked by Komunyakaa's personal style and vision. He and Gracia wipe the dust off of the old broken cuneiform tablets and make the characters in the epic come alive." RICHARD CECIL, author of Twenty First Century Blues"
