Written in the first century AD, Ovid's Metamorphoses is fifteen books and two hundred and fifty stories — Jupiter seducing Europa, Daphne becoming a laurel tree, Narcissus dissolved into his own reflection. The poem's subject is change itself: bodies in states of becoming, identities undone and remade, the physical world as a record of feeling pushed past its limit. It has never stopped being read, never stopped being relevant. SendB00ks' edition pairs this text with six original covers, each by an artist whose practice engages its own questions of transformation and selfhood — Elsa Rouy, Tali Lennox, Okiki Akinfe, Jan Melka, Mathilde Albouy, and Inés Di Folco Jemni. Each cover makes the same ancient poem feel like a different book. Collect one, or all six.
