Women Poets and Myth in the 20th and 21st Centuries
This book rereads and re-examines the important tradition of women poets and theorists who have both critically and creatively engaged with the study and reconsideration of the role played by myths in our Western society, assessing their impact in different eras. Such poets and theorists as H.D., Laura Riding, Denise Levertov, Margaret Atwood, Anne Carson, and Natalie Diaz have responded to myths, either by recreating, rewriting, and interrogating the power of myths to articulate our reality, or by creating and “begetting” new myths for the present. In order to interrogate whether myths throughout the 20th and 21st centuries can act as catalysts for new ideas and imaginative re-creations, this volume travels the path of essential works of poetry by women.
Myth and Environmentalism
This volume traces the interconnections between myth, environmentalism, narrative, poetry, comics, and innovative artistic practice, using this as a framework through which to examine strategies for repairing our unhealthy relationship with the planet. Challenging late capitalist modes encouraging mindless consumption and the degradation of human–nature relations, this collection advocates a re-evaluation of the ethical relation to "living with" and sharing the Earth.

Espacios y tiempos de lo fantástico
Sobrepasar los límites de lo real y de la forma es lo propio del género fantástico. A través de él, el lenguaje humano trasciende la pura referencialidad y entra en otro mundo con el fin de intentar dotar de significado a sus percepciones más inescrutables. En este volumen se exploran diferentes modalidades de ese desbordamiento inagotable y fecundo que, atravesando países y tiempos, pone en contacto la literatura escrita en varios idiomas con otras artes como la música, el dibujo o el cine. Se quiere así reflexionar sobre el papel de lo fantástico en nuestras vidas y sobre el modo en que pueda dibujarse como factor de cambio en nuestras habituales representaciones del mundo.
