About This Book

The poem weaves dramatic lyric episodes that portray raids and plunder by neighboring peoples, a refugee's flight and ambush, prophetic messengers bringing tidings to Samuel, the muster of Israelite tribes and a decisive military counterattack, and the communal mourning rites for a leader's daughter; alternating martial scenes with pastoral, seasonal imagery, it meditates on loss, fate, sacrificial pledge, communal memory, and the fragile condition of home and life.
