Description

Poetry. PRESENCE OF LIFE is Eric Hoffman's poetic adaptation of scholar Brad Inwood's original translation of the extant fragments of the Pythagorean Pre-Socratic Empedocles, one of antiquities' most influential thinkers and the last ancient Greek philosopher to have recorded his ideas in verse. Hoffman renders Empedocles' vision into a startlingly modern idiom that repositions the fragments as an ultimately poetic text.
