Lilith Kit Ludlow

This epic poem centers on the Abrahamic world's first woman: Lilith. It centers on her creation with Adam, the temptations of the spiritual world and her self-exile from the Garden of Eve; a tale not recorded in Genesis and with Eve. The narrative poem is compose entirely in Spenserian Stanzas. Written in 1998 when the poet was seventeen-years-old, the poem leans heavy in imitation of the Tragic Romantic poets: Byron, Shelley and Keats. Lilith is the poet/author's first longer work.
