Today’s program is about using myths when writing poems. The program includes an overview of what myth is and then presents poems that use myth as a foundational thematic device. Those poems include my translations of poems about the Greek queen of the underworld, Persephone, by the Lithuanian poet Nijolė Miliauskaitė, and three of my poems: two that use the figure of the Greek mythological figure Icarus, from my book The Kingfisher’s Reign, and one that incorporates a version of the Egyptian sky-god Horus, from Three White Horses.
