Disorders and diseases such as depression, anxiety, and addiction have received plenty of attention as a lens to approaching a poet’s work. However, eating disorders are largely left out of these types of analyses, mirroring the unfortunate fact that eating disorders today are the deadliest, most underdiagnosed, and under-insured of any mental disorder. Such an oversight is glaring, particularly considering how relevant food and hunger are as symbolism in poetry. Failing to incorporate the role(s) eating disorders may play in a likely anorectic’s work (Moore’s) leaves a gaping disparity in a poet’s or poem’s comprehensive literary analysis. This paper aims to play a role in filling this disparity by focusing on eating disorders as lens with Moore’s work. 2020 artículo científico 2582-0400 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=689074315006 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6890/689074315006/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6890/689074315006/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6890/689074315006/689074315006.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6890/689074315006/movil 10.47365/litinfinite.2.1.2020.30-38 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=6890 Litinfinite application/pdf Penprints Publication Litinfinite (India) Num.1 Vol.2 |
