Author: Dalglish, Cass

The earliest known signed literature was written in 2350 BCE on cuneiform tablets in Sumeria - by a woman. Enheduanna was a powerful Sumerian princess whose work "Nin-me-sar-ra" (Song to Inanna) begged the goddess Inanna for help overcoming an usurper. Lyrically translated by Dr. Cass Dalglish, Enheduanna's work echoes across millennia as a testament to the timeless power of women's literature. Dalglish improvises on her translations in rhythmic, jazz-like riffs that carry the reader back to ancient Iraq during a time when gods were female. 90 pp.
