A five-part song cycle using the poetry of Greek poet C. P. Cavafy, as translated by Edmund Keeley and Philip Sherrard. The cycle traces the emotional and psychology journey from the monotony of life's repetition, the nostalgic, painful, and haunting memories of the past, and the endless cycle of her routine as she spirals towards instability. Each movement introduces unique ideas and motifs, which are often interwoven throughout the cycle.
