Award-winning author, transformational leader, and visionary poet Jo Anna Bella, Poet at Heart, unveils an extraordinary poetic masterpiece with Calypso’s Longing, A Woman’s Odyssey of Love. This evocative collection, seamlessly woven as a novella, has already captured hearts as the #1 New Release in the Ancient, Classical & Medieval Poetry category on Amazon.
In this riveting reimagining of Homer’s The Odyssey, Bella gives voice to Calypso—the goddess long portrayed as merely a temptress in Odysseus’ tale. Through the discovery of her “washed-up diary,” readers embark on a journey to hear Calypso’s side of the story. The poetic narrative unravels the five cycles of love—anticipated, activated, annihilated, adjudicated, and authenticated—through over 100 original poems that bring passion and humanity to this timeless myth.
The collection transports readers to Ogygia, immersing them in the lush scenery and emotional depth of a story that has remained largely untold until now. In their Amazon review, A. Caesar describes the work as “an indispensable treasure” and commends Bella’s ability to infuse vulnerability and longing into her breathtaking language. By retelling this classic myth from a female perspective, Bella empowers modern-day lovers to reclaim their own narratives.
This anthology is a triumph for poetry enthusiasts, mythology lovers, and anyone captivated by the human condition. Prepare to be transported by the beauty of ancient Greece and the raw emotion of a goddess who refused to be forgotten.
In Calypso’s Longing, A Woman’s Odyssey of Love, Dr. Bennerson combines her love of poetry, research, and storytelling to give readers a transformative experience that is timeless and empowering. Get your copy of Calypso’s Longing, A Woman’s Odyssey of Love on Amazon.
