Description

The winged red monster Geryon's story is a mixture of whimsy and sadness. He is tormented as a boy by his brother, escapes to a parallel world of photography, and falls in love with Herakles - a golden young man who leaves Geryon at the peak of infatuation. This is an epic poem.

Awards

Shortlisted for T S Eliot Prize 1999 and TS Eliot Prize 1999.
