These essays examine twentieth-century poetry that employs myths of world and self- creation while avoiding the high modernist quest myth. I argue that Freud's Thanatos (death and aggression), Jung's Eros (love and sexuality), Lacan's Logos (meaning and language), and Kristeva's semiotic theory (of unconscious, pre-linguistic marking) inform and disrupt the myths of Francis Ponge, William Carlos Williams, Robert Bly, and Anne Waldman. Ponge both invents and reappropriates myths of origin in |The Pebble.| He eliminates the Bible's paradisal end of history and removes Oedipal hostility from Hesiod's creation myth. The pebble's death-in-life existence becomes creation's code; paradoxically, Ponge makes Thanatos productive. He uses it to inform other plausible creation narratives and disrupt any ur-myth. In Paterson Williams tries to reinvigorate language by elaborating on Hindu creation myth. This |dream of the whole poem,| however, fails to represent Logos' creative spark. Like the |dull roar| of the Passaic waterfall, Williams' America stifles innovation. Yet Paterson makes a point of depicting women on society's margin whose struggles and language lend vibrant heterogeneity to the poem and culture. I read the title character in Bly's The Man in the Black Coat Turns as an indeterminate figure. He impedes the poet's creation of a new myth of masculinity and reconciliation with an alcoholic father and antiwar past. Man admires the Eros of Odin and Dionysus despite Bly's realization that this use of myth retreats from the present and history, escaping to an exclusively heroic past that never was. Again addressing women's experiences, I discuss the |body poetics| Waldman develops in Iovis: All Is Full Of Jove. Mirroring Kristeva's theory of revolutionary poetic language, Waldman defamiliarizes male myths. She re-imagines Hesiod's creation myth as a rape and undermines the American military through |chaos linguistics.| Inventive line and page design turns Iovis into a semiotic text, opposing cultural and poetic conventions. The concluding chapter notes that high modernism typically reduces history to a single |true| version and reifies identity and gender. The poets I discuss, though, lay bare anxieties and affirm inclusive visions of world and self.
