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.
