Redefining Dragon Depicture, Miranda D. Renfro Jul 2019

Redefining Dragon Depicture, Miranda D. Renfro

Augsburg Honors Review

The dragon has been a staple character in myths and stories in all cultures for centuries, and in most cases of Western culture, the dragon is an enemy. However, the typical role of the dragon has recently been undergoing some significant changes, particularly in the area of young adult literature. A trend has arisen in which the dragon no longer carries the connotation of evil or darkness. Instead, the dragon is being written in a number of benevolent roles including mentor and companion to the hero. The characteristics resemble those of Eastern dragons from areas such as China and Japan. …


Revitalization Of Female History: An Analysis Of Adrienne Rich's Diving Into The Wreck And The Dream Of A Common Language, Kate Soules Jul 2019

Revitalization Of Female History: An Analysis Of Adrienne Rich's Diving Into The Wreck And The Dream Of A Common Language, Kate Soules

Augsburg Honors Review

Of the many important female American poets of the twentieth century, Adrienne Rich is one of the most significant. In her many journals and essays, Rich exposes an ongoing journey of self-discovery, a journey also revealed in her poetry. Her books of poetry Diving into the Wreck and The Dream of a Common Language in particular display a progression of thought about womanhood. This progression begins with a desire for androgyny achieved through a revival of the feminine portion of history in Diving into the Wreck. To achieve androgyny would mean an achievement of balance between male and female, which …


Orion's Final Song, Chad Chisholm Jul 2019

Orion's Final Song, Chad Chisholm

The Mythic Circle

While there are different stories about the death of Orion, the inspiration for this poem mainly comes from Hesiod’s Astronomia where the huntsman Orion comes to Crete for the wild game and there becomes the beloved of Artemis, goddess of the moon and the hunt. Orion and Artemis became hunting companions, and the mortal huntsman won the heart of the young immortal. However, their love was short-lived. Because of his zeal for the hunt as well as his boasting, Orion angered Gaia, the primordial goddess of the Earth, who then sent a gigantic scorpion to battle the famous hunter. While …

My Dreamy Manifesto Under The Starry Sky - Cometward, Pawel Markiewicz Jul 2019

My Dreamy Manifesto Under The Starry Sky - Cometward, Pawel Markiewicz

The Mythic Circle

Attention: This manifesto has in itself a magic power and it can finally refute the communist manifesto (1847/48) and its successors in the form of communist states. It burns a peaceful campfire!

The Comet Of 1577, S. Dorman Jul 2019

The Comet Of 1577, S. Dorman

The Mythic Circle

This story was written in the foothills of the Alleghenies in the early 1980s and later incorporate Into a novel, Fantastic Travelogue: Mark Twain and CS Lewis Talk Things over in The Hereafter. In the early 2000s this SF was begun as a project for the thesis paper in the CSUDH masters in humanities program (HUX). Mark Twain had written stories imagining travels in various parts of creation, leaving me with an impetus to re-imagine him as a character taking part in sundry aspects of same.


Ersaist Creation Myth, Lamar Johnson Jul 2019

Ersaist Creation Myth, Lamar Johnson

The Mythic Circle

Explanation of “Ersaist Creation Myth”: This . . . is almost unarguably the most important passage [in a ninety-page poem of which an excerpt is published here] in terms of exposit ion, for, to create an epic of one’s own in the modern day, is (in part) to eschew the cultural context that would be provided by society in a modern day Christian, or Hindu epic. As a consequence, much of my epic is a delve into worldbuilding and the various tales and legends of its people. The solid story is that, just as there are Three Gods, so too …


Panning, Anum Sattar Jul 2019

Panning, Anum Sattar

The Mythic Circle

The poem “Panning” was written on the 3rd of July 2018 during a summer poetry tutorial at the College of Wooster in Wooster, Ohio. The poet portrays a woman as the natural landscape who has been exploited by a man she trusted. The persona is the river with very little gold flakes and the selfish lover does not have the patience to sieve them, so he takes a less cumbersome path and explodes her escarpment base to get what he wants. But in the end, even he loses out on her, because the fish and gold shavings are strewn “far …

The Descent Of Ancient Night Upon Heav'n: An Addition To John Milton's Paradise Lost, Book Three, Ted Snyder Jul 2019

The Descent Of Ancient Night Upon Heav'n: An Addition To John Milton's Paradise Lost, Book Three, Ted Snyder

The Mythic Circle

The overall concept that I work from in this addition to Paradise Lost is a rather Satanic move. Satan plays with Eve’s understanding of the Tree of Knowledge in Book 9, changing the idea of “forbidden Tree of Knowledge” to “Tree of Forbidden Knowledge.” Similarly, when I saw that God was hidden behind “unapproached light” (3.4-5), I wondered, is this unapproached or unapproachable? Milton states unapproached, which implies that it can be approached, and thus it seems that God is hiding. Also, Milton personifies the non-Biblical Chaos and his court (2.959-967), which makes me wonder, why? Milton does not specify …
