Masters Thesis

Renegade wheel

This collection of poetry reflects the feminist tradition of re-vision, a tradition wherein poetry, with its myth and language, affords the female writer the genius to confront established texts so as to unpin all fixed perceptions and in their unpinning, to arrive at something else entirely. In seeing the established afresh and critically, these poems stand to unsettle accepted assumptions. The conscious aim of this collection is to release and to recreate the language of our forefathers so as to alight upon the unseen and thereby, to offer up a new vision of both woman and world. The poems within are deeply spiritual and equally resistant, working together to locate a different us on the horizon. Thus, the poems in Renegade Wheel destabilize the Adamic world of the old masters and in doing so, they release new possibilities and new spaces, both mystical and mundane, wherein we may arrive at a consciousness that is entirely our own.
