Found Poem Brian Poerio

The poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay, “I Will Put Chaos into Fourteen Lines” inspired my found poem. The original work by Millay  shows several ideas, the most being a religious one. Without going too far in-depth, the poem shows a struggle with human curiousity and the power evil has on it. This poem I found upsetting because the speaker of the poem allows him/herself to feel safe around Chaos and then wanted to learn from it. This idea however allows for Chaos to continue.

I chose to modify the poem by Millay however into something different. I was inspired by both our class, as well as my American Literature class where we discussed slavery and oppression. My modifications however were not inspired by African Slavery, but Native American Slavery. Europeans originally claimed they wished to teach them Christianity. However, they did not submit freely and were brutally attacked and enslaved and used against there will in the hopes that they might convert or die. Even converting however did not end up freeing them. The Europeans saw Native Americans as savages because they did not understand them, and did not want to. My found poem was inspired by these ideas, and spoken through the voice of one of these invading Europeans.
