Description: Also spelled as 'Enuma Elish', Enûma Eliš is the Babylonian creation mythos named after its opening words (incipit) which means 'when on high'. It's about thousand lines recorded in Old Babylonian on seven clay tablets.

Here on this chapbook, the term 'when on high' is re-worked as poems about life, creation, death and eternity. Following a vague sequence, it starts covering meditations on flowers, stars, life and the idea of most absolute beginning and ending, but till the end poem itself finds remedies in the everlasting harmony of incarnation and fragments which has no beginning or ending.

what is a 'chapbook'?

[Andrew]

I guess paperback, but it is a card cover with hand sown pages. was how it was described on the publisher site, so I took it from there.

Thanks for your amazingly quick responses!
