Like the rhapsodists, the storytellers of ancient Greece, "A Pretty Sight" shapes voices of the past and present into a stitched song lifted and sounded toward the next century. Haunted by "time's frame / that dark shape near the edge of the canvass," O'Meara's new book explores aspects of culture, art, war, rebellion and technology, offering defiance amid decay.
