The Lacunae in Hidwana
There are a lot of holes in Hidwana. I think there's an American poet and playwright called Youssef Kamunyaka who writes about Gilgamesh that it would not be as compelling if it were not for all these fragments. He says you can imagine within those breaks. And I definitely try to make the case for the lacunae for the fragments because I do think that they can be places of real beauty in which you know glimpses of possibilities just rush in to fill these empty spaces.
