| Abstract/Description: | Otway is a verse collection that explores the journey of the self in isolation. The collection commences with the narrator's inability to make sense of involuntary isolation. The subsequent melancholia prompts the narrator's journey of self-exploration, which progresses outward into the natural world. This journey is signified through the narrator's travels, which bring her into direct contact with the numinous (nature). Consequently, both narrator and numen become integrated, leading to the transformation of solitude as "undesirable" space into "sacred" space, one in which self-discovery can occur. | |
