Personal Writing Project.
“How do poets, and artists of all kinds, use mythology as a way of prjecting their self into their work?”
A piece of personal invesigative poetry/prose:
why do I personally find it difficult to write directy about myself?
- does writing through a medium such as myth make this easier? Why? And what effect does this have on the “poetic persona”?
= DOES THE ACT OF WRITING PETRY THROUGH A MEDIUM SUCH AS MYTHOLOGY CAUSE THE ISOLATION OF THE EMOTIONAL SELF AT THE COST OF THE DEVEOPMENT OF THE POETIC PERSONA?
Texts of interest:
Ovid’s Metamorphosis
Ted Hughes’ Tales from Ovid
etc…
Possible points of reference between myself and mythology:
Viking Myths – Northern, earthy.
Tales of Medusa – conflicting personality etc.
Any thoughts?

Back home…
Well, I’ve now been back in England for abut 10 days and I still can’t believe I’ve done it, that it’s over, and hw amazing that is…
I have travelled around the world! And both of us survived, we managed it, and we had a great time!!!!
I can’t believe it…
But it’s good to be home, to see England again, to be with family again… Now, I just can’t wait to see you all, move into our house in Leam, and let uni term begin…
Roll on year three… :)
