hahahaha. I think the word play in that sentence was WAY too much, but once I thought of it I couldn't kill my darling.
My favorite book of poetry ever is called Mother Love, by Rita Dove. All the poems are about the Persephone abduction story, and there's an interesting duality Dove brings to Persephone: sometimes she's an innocent, abducted and raped. Sometimes she is a girl trying to explore herself and make choices independently of her mother--seduced by the bad boys, yes, but also maneuvering herself into a position in which she will one day rule.
