I love it, It's about the idea that Helen was teleported to Egypt to hide during the Trojan War and she's in a sort of Limbo. It's not like a Cantar Di Mio Cid or anything, but I think calling it an Epic poem makes sense. Her other long poem "Trilogy" is my favorite book period.

Ed Dorn's "Gunslinger", though it's markedly more 'mock epic'...
