Abstract
The figure of Eve is a powerful and evocative poetic image. In Rose Auslander's poetry, Eve sheds her traditional role as unwitting accomplice to the corruption of humanity and instead becomes a symbol of creation, creativity, and the power of the female poet. The poems emphasize Eve's active role in the Garden of Eden and constitute a playful revision of the Biblical creation myth. Auslander uses Eve to access the forbidden knowledge of opposites as a poetic source and reinterprets the role of sin as a driving force in the creative process. (KvH)
