—Maxine Chernoff

Travis Cebula’s newest offering Ithaca asks, “Who is Ithaca and what does she learn?” His complex characterization of Ithaca guided by the tender polyphony in vibrant lines such as, “the land of high renown is in murmuring too numerous,” carefully develops this question into the intricate voyage a name undertakes between ports of signification. As she alternately becomes a “frail nest, a country, or a daughter,” Ithaca encourages us to ponder, “can real love exist between their absolute if?” For Cebula, the emphatic answer is yes. By conceiving “if” as a sail tugging us through the varieties of love each transformation embodies, Ithaca evolves into a voyage that arrives at the resonant pleasure found in the pitch and roll of an imaginary country and its mellifluous citizen.
