"Medusa " by Louise Bogan

    "Medusa" is a poem by Louise Bogan , before reading it , I was expecting the real story of Medusa herself(how and why she was cursed ).Unfortunatly, it was about  the narrathor of the story, who after looked at medusa turns into stone and lifeless .What i like the least about the work , how it ended , most of the time , they return back to their normal life ( from a stone  return back into human being after looking at Medusa ),but the narathor did not . Even though I am slightly confused on the meaning of the poem i would still recommend  it to a friend , so she can enjoy the different literature devices Bogan uses in the poem.
