Ferry's Gilgamesh is uniquely his own, self-contained in holding aloof from fads and hype. No display of adjectival fireworks could do justice to his poem's originality or to the integrity of the poet's formal invention. In identifying the poem as Mr. Ferry's, I mean no disrespect to Sin-leqe-unninni, the ancient poet-editor that Babylonian tradition credits as having developed to their highest form the epic adventures of Gilgamesh, King of Uruk, and his companion, Enkidu. But like Edward Fitzgerald's Rubaiyat or Ezra Pound's Cathay , Mr. Ferry's Gilgamesh is a miraculous transformation of his original into his own, utterly distinctive idiom . . . Perhaps the poem's most moving element is how the desire for fame is superseded, after the death of Enkidu, by a quest that touches every reader, ancient or modern. . . the wish for physical immortality . . . [Ferry's] technical genius and literary sophistication evoke not only the hero's anguish, but the rage and despair of the untouchable., "Ferry's version [of Gilgamesh will] become the standard English text." -- Fred Marchant, The Harvard Review "There have been other English accounts of this hero with a thousand descendants, but this is the first one that is as much poetry as scholarship." -- Michael Dirda, The Washington Post Book World "Ferry's skill brings a fresh interpretation to the power of Gilgamesh ." -- John Ray, The Times Literary Supplement "Ferry's Gilgamesh is uniquely his own, self-contained in holding aloof from fads and hype.
