Joining the rich literary history of prayerful and supplicative poetry, Louise Glück’s The Wild Iris pays homage to this tradition, while at the same time subverting it. In the critical introduction, I discuss how Glück incorporates the adhesive power of paradox as a means of connecting the entire collection, with its competing and often contradictory voices, together in a meaningful way. I argue that the end result is a beautifully complex collection of spiritually secular prayers. The second part of my thesis contains thirty-eight pages of my own poetry, which also explore issues of the divine, as well as lying, family, and loss.

O presente estudo pretende abrir três caminhos possíveis para a compreensão da obra da artista franco-americana Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010). Para isso, primeiramente aborda a relação entre vida e obra em seu trabalho, percorrendo escritos, obras visuais e retratos, rediscutindo o estatuto da noção de autoria em seu trabalho. Em seguida, busca mostrar a peculiaridade da erótica da artista, elemento chave para o estabelecimento entre público e obra. Por fim, examina a inserção de Bourgeois na vaga primitivista presente na implantação do modernismo em solo norte-americano. / This study intends to open three possible approaches to the understanding of the work of the French-American artist Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010).
