Alice Notley, Homer's Art, 1990
The Homeric epic is a whole other kind of poetry, one in which language hurries to keep up. It is not language, it is a poem; though it is also something like a novel. What a service to poetry it might be to steal story away from the novel & give it back to rhythm and sound, give it back to the line. Another service would be to write a long poem, a story poem, with a female narrator/hero. Perhaps this time she wouldn't call herself something like Helen; perhaps instead there might be recovered some sense of what mind was like before Homer, before the world went haywire & women were denied participation in the design & making of it. Perhaps someone might discover that original mind inside herself right now, in these times. Anyone might.
