This thesis researches the relationship between ancient Greek myths and modern American women’s poetry, specifically in the last two decades of the 20th century. The myths serve as meta-narratives; they are constantly re-written in different contexts and their meanings shifts, even more so in modern poetry. Especially women poets approach the topic of myth in a way that creates different readings. Therefore, works of four contemporary American poets are analysed: Louise Glück, Rita Dove, Jorie Graham and A.E.Stallings. Since each of these poets has a different background, each of them has a different take on the myths included in their poetry. The general tendency that connects them is asserting against a surface reading of the myth, yet each accomplishes this in her own distinct way. The objective is to describe the differences and similarities between these four poets and comment on the lasting allure and importance of myth in poetry. |
