“……. handicapped
by the ancient rule of the father
tangled in a confusion of lessons
passed from mother to daughter;
the desire to be desired
never to give offence
the divine right of kings”
The poems in ‘predicaments’ explore women’s responses to the constraints and consequences of choices they have made. Their responses are not much changed through the millennia of myth, history and into contemporary times.
The poet reflects on significant moments in the lives of women such as Helen of Troy, Delilah and Joan of Arc, and the predicaments they are faced with in a man’s world.
