Book excerpt: In Persephone in America, Alison Townsend deftly weaves autobiography with myth in this reinvention of the tale of Demeter and Persephone as seen from the modern woman’s perspective. Fraught with emotional honesty, this captivating collection of lyrical and narrative poems chronicles the struggles of the figurative Persephone in three parts—the abduction, descent to the underworld, and return. Townsend turns a shrewd eye to her own experiences, as well as to the lives of other women, to offer an unflinching yet deeply compassionate exploration of such themes as girlhood and the vulnerability of the motherless; the demons of depression, addiction, and abuse; as well as passion, aging, and celebration of the natural world. Although the poems traverse dark emotional territory at times, the picture that emerges ultimately is one of revelation and wisdom. Persephone in America is above all a journey of the soul, following the narrator as she explores what it means to be a woman in America, at times descending into darkness, only to emerge into redemption and realize “time’s sweet and invincible secret—that everything repeats—and we watch it.” Townsend’s candid portrait of female loss and discovery seeks to illuminate the truths inherent in myth, and the awakenings that hide in our darkest moments. Persephone, Pretending (Madison, Wisconsin) When the news says that the girl who had been missing almost four days, only to be found in a marshy area at the edge of our medium-sized city, was faking it all along, I wondered what made her do it. I'd seen her face—bright smile, dark eyes— on a flier masking-taped to a pillar at the airport the week before, felt the involuntary frisson of the curious, then only fear at the thought of a girl abducted in this place once voted "America's most livable city." She must have wanted something she couldn't name, that good girl with good grades who looks like so many girls in my own classes, but who keeps changing her story. It happened here; no, it happened there; no, I really just wanted to be alone. Then she turns her face away, tired of telling her tale, not sure what to make up next or where invention will take her. “Fictitious victimization disorder,” Time magazine claims, but I wonder what else, imagining her in the marsh, cold, unrepentant, powerless, her mind gone muddy with lack of sleep, no way out of this lie she almost believes, or the lies ahead, nothing but memory of the rope, duct tape, cough medicine, and knife she bought at the PDQ with her own cash, wanting to be taken by someone so badly, she takes us, she does it to herself.

Download or read book Persephone s Husband written by Amy Beth Katz and published by . This book was released on 2019-01-05 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Erotic, heart-wrenching, vivacious and wildly gushing images like the fountain of youth, this book of love poems is not for the faint-of-heart. These original poems by depth psychologist and soul guide Amy Beth Katz are seeped in the motif of Persephone and Hades. According to Greek Mythology, the young and beautiful Persephone is abducted by the King of the Underworld, and dragged down to his shadowy lair, where the horror and loneliness of death awaits, but so do the carnal, carnival delights that Hades has in store for his vulnerable bride. Meanwhile, her Mother Demeter's grief is so overwhelming, the plants of the earth stop growing. Zeus, recognizing the fate of the world is at stake, ends Hermes the Messenger to negotiate with Hades, in the hope of retrieving the innocent from the Underworld. The archetypal patterns of this myth, which all lovers can relate to, is woven into each poem. The book as a whole is a coming of age story. Each poem touches deeply into the theme of the power of the pursuit of passion, and its many pitfalls, since people can be as cruel in their full humanity, even as they are compassionate in their Godliness. Alas, over time, Persephone accepts her fate, even as she goes kicking and screaming along the way, as all those who are true to their own hearts must do. This is essentially a book of Alchemy. Eventually, she claims her rightful position as Queen of the Underworld, spending half the year down below with her lord and husband, and the other half above as an Earth Goddess, tending to the gardens and planting seeds: metaphors, all, for the author's own journey through the darkest recesses through the heart of the Underworld, and the greatest heights of joyful abandonment in the sunlight of erotic love. The Alchemical Marriage is achieved. This is a gift to anyone who has ever lost, and found a deeper version of themselves, in the throes of longing for a passionate union with a mythical soulmate, who may or may not exist mostly in the oceanic imagination.
Download or read book Persephone in the Late Anthropocene written by Megan Grumbling and published by Acre Books. This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Persephone in the Late Anthropocene vaults an ancient myth into the age of climate change. In this poetry collection, the goddess of spring now comes and goes erratically, drinks too much, and takes a human lover in our warming, unraveling world. Meanwhile, Persephone's mother searches for her troubled daughter, and humanity is first seduced by the unseasonable abundance, then devastated by the fallout, and finally roused to act. This ecopoetic collection interweaves the voices of Persephone, Demeter, and a human chorus with a range of texts, including speculative cryptostudies that shed light on the culture of the "Late Anthropocene." These voices speak of decadence and blame, green crabs and neonicotinoids, mysteries and effigies. They reckon with extreme weather, industrialized plenty, and their own roles in ecological collapse. Tonally, the poems of this book range between the sublime and the profane; formally, from lyric verse and modern magical-realist prose poems to New Farmer's Almanac riddles and pop-anthropology texts. At the heart of this varied and inventive collection is story itself, as Demeter deconstructs "whodunits," as the chorus grasps that mythmaking is an act of "throwing their voices," and as their very language mirrors the downward spiral of destruction. Together, the collected pieces of Persephone in the Late Anthropocene form a narrative prism, exploring both environmental crisis and the question of how we tell it.
