Throughout history, men have prayed to the gods and poets have interpreted the ancient myths for new audiences. But what of the women? Here, scholars examine how modern female poets take on the legends of Persephone, Helen, and Eurydice, subverting and flipping classical expectations. After essays on the works of H.D., Louise Gluck, Ruth Fainlight, Rita Dove, Silvia Plath, and many more, the collection ventures to the goddesses of other countries: Buddhist Kwan Yin, Irish Macha, Aztec Coatlicue, Hawaiian Pele, Indian Sita, Sumerian Inanna, African Yemonja, the Mexican Llorona, and many more. With sections on teaching and modern writing, there's something for every scholar in this groundbreaking new collection.
