- Title
Lust in the Ground: The Erotics and Politics of the Soil in Contemporary Poetry.
- Authors
Emig, Rainer
- Abstract
The article critiques the symbolic uses of the ground and soil in contemporary poetry. It addresses the connotations of the ground in "A Shropshire Lad," by A. E. Housman, the symbolism of the ground in T. S. Eliot's "The Waste Land," and poet W. H. Auden's "In Praise of Limestone." It notes the use of gendering the ground in some poems.
