LiteraturePoetry and the Gods
Poetry and the Gods is a consolatory fantasy by Anna Helen Crofts and H. P. Lovecraft. A dissatisfied modern woman dreams that Hermes takes her to the classical gods, where great poets sustain a beauty absent from everyday life. The promise of another poet eventually transforms her waking experience. Its benevolent revelation offers a different use of dreams from the terrors more commonly associated with Lovecraft.
