The World's Wife, Contemporary Myth Poems by Carol Ann Duffy
from Myth Matters · host Catherine Svehla
In The World's Wife, Carol Ann Duffy offers myth poems that are also myths for today in the form of a poem. These poems converse with old myths and stories AND they are stories in themselves. They display a deep appreciation for the poignancy of these tales, and a wicked, dark humor. I love them. As the title suggests, Duffy tells her myths from the perspective of the women who are largely silent in the older and more popular versions. This episode includes a handful of my favorites from the collection, accompanied by a bit of background about the relevant myth or fairytale.Support the showEmail Catherine at [email protected] a positive review on apple podcasts!
