Poems using the Persephone myth to explore the life of a contemporary woman.Winner of the Strousse Award fro Best Group of Poems (2002)In Rachel Zucker's reimagining of the Greek myth, Persephone is a daughter struggling to become a woman. Unlike the classical portrait of a maiden kidnapped by a tyrant, Zucker's Persephone chooses to travel to the Underworld and assume her role as Hades' queen. Caught between worldslight and dark, innocence and power, a mother's protection and a lover's appealPersephone describes the strangeness of the Underworld and the problems of transformation and transgression. The arrangement of Zucker's poems reflects Persephone's travels between the Underworld and the Surface. Both spare and lyrical, they are written as entries in Persephone's diary and as letters between Persephone, Demeter, and Hades. The languagestrange, urgent, directis pulled and changed as Persephone journeys from one world to another revealing the struggle of unmaking and remaking the self.
