Thomas Roop has been fortunate enough to travel widely through his life, learning from a wide variety of cultures, traditions, and religions. These encounters inculcated and developed a love for humankind. While travelling through Denmark, he encountered and fell in love with the work of the 19th century poet, novelist, and playwright Hans Christian Anderson. The literature of T. S. Eliot, Carl Sandburg, Sylvia Plath, Maya Angelou, and others are all evident influences on Roop’s own work.

Nella sua ultima raccolta, Raccolto diurno, Erri De Luca addomestica le parole, che appaiono nelle sue mani come animali selvatici, solo per poco disposti a farsi ammansire. Le parole di questo artigiano della letteratura, infatti, sono sempre pronte a ribellarsi, a stringersi in forma di pugno, a mandare scintille. Le poesie di De Luca a volte contengono racconti, storie, volti come se fossero narrazioni. Ma sono anche altro: per esempio odi minime agli elementi, come nel miglior Neruda; sono epigrafi per chi non c’è più e nostalgie di un futuro da scrivere.

The Shield of Heracles is an archaic Greek epic poem that was attributed to Hesiod during antiquity. The subject of the poem is the expedition of Heracles and Iolaus against Cycnus, the son of Ares, who challenged Heracles to combat as Heracles was passing through Thessaly. It has been suggested that this epic may reflect anti-Thessalian feeling after the First Sacred War (595–585 BCE): in the epic, a Thessalian hero interfering with the Phocian sanctuary is killed by a Boeotian hero (Heracles), whose mortal father Amphitryon had for allies Locrians and Phocians.
