Christopher Logue |
| Christopher Logue was born in 1926. He served as a private in the Black Watch and spent sixteen months in an army prison. His publications include several volumes of poetry and a pornographic novel. He lives in London with his wife, the critic Rosemary Hill. |
| This is the fifth and penultimate instalment of Christopher Logue’s celebrated account of the Iliad. Cold Calls continues from a point nine years after the Greeks have launched a thousand ships to capture Helen of Troy. The Trojans have driven the Greeks off the plain of Troy but the battles continue. Logue’s free blank verse elegantly transforms these well-loved, ancient stories into a modern epic. |
