The Oracle Of The Pig's Head, Taylor L. Denton
The Oracle Of The Pig's Head, Taylor L. Denton
LSU Master's Theses
The Oracle of the Pig’s Head is a collection of two poems, a short story, and a novel centered around themes of the role of the feminine body in society, monstrosity, disgust, divinity, and human impact on the environment. Inspired by other works of eco-criticism, gothic literature, surrealism, Appalachian folklore, and Greco-Roman mythology, this collection explores how marginalized bodies interact in a world forever altered by climate change.

I suggest that during the postcolonialism the legend did not tell anymore about a mother that cries and search a place for their …
