Aaron Poochigian's Mr. Either/Or is an ingenious debut, a verse novel
melding American mythology, noir thriller, and classical epic into
gritty rhythms, foreboding overtones, and groovy jams surrounding the
reader in a surreal atmosphere. Imagine Byron's Don Juan on a
high-stakes romp through a Raymond Chandler novel. Think Hamlet in
Manhattan with a license to kill.
Aaron Poochigian earned a PhD in Classics from the University of

translations from Sappho, Stung With Love, was published in 2009. The
