A POEM AND A MISTAKE
Written by Cheri Magid
Myrrha, a grad student in the classics, grapples with the fifty sexual assaults in Ovid's Metamorphoses. When her professor profoundly misunderstands her, Myrrha pushes him, and suddenly, like the characters in Metamorphoses, he is changed into a version of Myrrha. Both characters find themselves in an Ovidian landscape where transformation is a magical and terrifying confrontation with their own gender, sexuality, and desire.
