Epithalamion: An Unusual Invocation
from The Poetry Fix Hosted by Erika Kyba
If you've completed high school English, it's likely you've heard of the standard "invocation of the muse" invoked by epic poets such as Homer and Virgil. What would happen if a poet used this invocation to frame a poem about a wedding, rather than adventure and war? Spencer's "Epithalamion" accomplishes just that; join Erika Kyba to encounter this love ballad.
