Book Synopsis
On a Greek island, in the desert wastes of southern Jordan and in Malta, whose Stone Age temples serve as a backdrop to the title poem, this collection abounds in unforeseen encounters that blur the borders between the phantasmal and the real, the modern and the archaic, the rational and the imaginary.

Trade Review
'[Levin's] synoptic vision of the two great Semitic traditions, the Jewish and the Arab, running concurrently, is also a political act of the subtlest and most humane kind... 'Ostraca' is one of the finest collections I have read in years.' - Stephen Romer, TLS"Ostraca' rakes through archaeological sites of the Mediterranean, and is astounding. Constantine Cavafy might have been proud of some of these poems' - Tom Payne, Daily Telegraph
