English:A usurper has attacked the temples of Ur and Uruk and the priestly poet Enheduanna prays for help from Inanna, the god who has disappeared into the Land of No Return. 'If you were here, Inanna, you’d surround that big man in the sky,' Enheduanna cries. This collection of poems is a jazz poetry rendition of ancient Iraqi pictographs pressed into clay thousands of years ago by Enheduanna, the first person in history-female or male-to sign her own text. Originally published only in English, Humming the Blues/Cantando los Blues (a boca cerrada) is now a bilingual edition, with Cass Dalglish’s interpretation of the sacking of Enheduanna’s temples and the story of Inanna’s journey to the Land of No Return told in parallel tales in both English and Spanish. Spanish:Un usurpador ha atacado los templos de Ur y Uruk, y la poeta sacerdotal Enheduanna ora por la ayuda de Inanna, la deidad que ha desaparecido en la Tierra sin Retorno. Enheduana suplica: 'Si estuvieras aquí Inanna, rodearías a ese hombre grande en el cielo'. Esta colección de poemas es una versión poética al estilo del jazz de pictografías iraquíes antiguas estampadas en arcilla por Enheduana hace miles de años. Históricamente, fue la primera persona-hombre o mujer-que firmó su propio texto escrito. Publicada originalmente sólo en inglés, Humming the Blues/Cantando los Blues (a boca cerrada) es ahora una edición bilingüe, con la interpretación de Cass Dalglish del saqueo de los templos de Enheduanna y la historia del viaje de ida y vuelta de Inanna a la Tierra sin Retorno, contada ahora en relatos paralelos, inglés y español.

    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family. Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

    Edward V Bonner

Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....
