Sisyphusina

Author: Shira Dentz

Publisher: Astrophil Press (2025)

Winner of the Eugene Paul Nassar Poetry Prize, SISYPHUSINA is a cross-genre collection that contains poetry, prose, visual art, and music. Shira Dentz addresses the lack of accurate description of female ageing in literary traditions by using hybrid forms to create a book that reflects internal and physical processes that constitute a shifting identity. SISYPHUSINA examines conventions of beauty, traditional aesthetic values in a collection that is as textured as it is inspired.
