Ordinary Oblivion and The Self Unmoored

“This is an extraordinarily creative, and lyrically written, meditation on the philosophical meaning and experiential richness of what is, by any measure, one of Plato’s most creative and lyrical dialogues. Countering the all too common belief that Plato was strictly hostile to poetry and poets, an idea the Phaedrus belies, Rapp weaves contemporary poetic voices into her meditation on this preeminently Greek philosophical vision. The result is a tapestry of exceptional beauty and insight.” (―Louis Ruprecht Georgia State University)

“Rapp’s ambitious and exciting work plumbs the depths of Plato’s text with verve and sings with a voice as poetic as Plato’s own.” –Highly Recommended (―Choice Magazine)
