books to read based/ or around the theme of Ouroboros ?
of course!! i don’t tend to seek out ouroboros themes in books but they’ve become increasingly unintentionally-prevalent in current reads. here are my favs:
the poppy war trilogy by r.f. kuang
children of time duology by adrian tchaikovsky
solaris by stanisław lem
mexican gothic by silvia moreno-garcia
the final girl support group by grady hendrix
if you want something shorter and maybe more meta, there’s the essay ouroboricisms by alice lesperance. i’m not particularly one for poems but in the desert by stephen crane and the world keeps ending, and the world goes on by franny choi are absolute ouroborocism gems.
two of the books on my tbr also involve ouroborocisms:
hauntology: ghosts of future past by merlin coverly
atonement by ian mcewan
#i hope you like at least some of these!#feel free to go through my ouroboros tag to see if any of the excerpts in there interest you enough to read the whole work ->#ouroboros#asks

@hanniballistic tagged me to type my name + core into pinterest and make a mood board out of the pictures that come up – thanks for the tag!
every time I do this the result changes a bit and I think we're teaching pinterest something with this because the pictures it shows me get more and more "aesthetic" but also more specific to my taste with each time lmao (also it's started recommending me other name + core searches)
anyway, I'm tagging @countrygirlaziraphale @ouroboricism @tolstayas @crowmaulers @ellelans @linusbenjamin and everyone else who feels like doing it <3

hello! i think the other person is talking about a quote from salma deera's letters from medea? the quote goes like this: the centre of every poem is this: i have loved you. i have had to deal with that. hope this helps! or sorry if i am wrong!
Thank you ❤️

on cycles
a syllabus of orbits, loops, repetitions, and returns
loops, the limits of language, the paradoxical loneliness of "i love you," and what keeps love alive by maria popova
an installment of popova's newsletter the marganialian that draws on the writing of roland barthes. popova begins by describing her repeated daily walking routes, drawing a connection between the repetition of movement and the repetition of speech and feeling-- the recurrent declaration of "i love you."
why did our universe begin? with roger penrose
video with nobel prizewinning physicist roger penrose that explains his theory of "conformal cyclic cosmology": that our universe's deep past bears a similarity to its deep future, giving evidence for an infinitely cycling timeline. see the essay "time after time" by paul halpern for more on physics and cyclical time.
"time, space, and the eclipse of the earth" (part i: abstraction) by david abram
from ecologist and philosopher david abram's book the spell of the sensuous. in this section, he distinguishes broadly between how space and time are viewed in oral cultures and literate cultures. he focuses on the alignment between oral cultures and a cyclical model of time, discussing why alphabets and writing might affect the way space-time manifests in a cultural imagination.
the hero with a thousand faces by joseph campbell
book by mythologist and literature professor joseph campbell describing his archetypical "hero's journey" cycle, a basic multi-step plot shared by myths and stories across many centuries and cultures (also called a "monomyth"). for a condensed version of the hero's journey, see this diagram by lisa paltz spindler designed for the gunn center for the study of science fiction.
"on small seasons and long calendars" by ross zurowski
essay by designer ross zurowski on how we divide and mark time, arguing that we should begin to divide our lives into more organic and useful phases. the essay is inspired in part by the sekki, short descriptive seasons used by farmers in ancient china and japan-- you can see a list of sekki (along with twitter and ical notifications) at zurowski's a guide to understanding small seasons.
wintering by katherine may
book by british writer katherine may on literal and metaphorical winters. may writes about the necessity to periodically experience darkness throughout life, meditating on the winter solstice, cold water swimming, the northern lights, hibernation and fairy tales to illustrate how wintering can catalyze self-renewal.
"ouroboricisms" by alice lesperance
medium essay about trauma that uses the ouroboros as a metaphor for the circular reconstruction of memory. lesperance draws from mystics and writers julian of norwich, anne carson, margery kempe, and flannery o'connor and their engagement with the repetition and recreation of wounds.
"on reset" by brian blanchfield
a meditation by poet brian blanchfield from his essay collection proxies about discovering a series of audition tapes in which the same scene is repeatedly recast with different actresses. he draws a comparison between the audition scene and poetic repetition, not only in the structure of poems but in our engagement with poetry itself.

i’m going thru big trauma hours and reading your compiled research has been very cathartic and oddly healing in a way. i was just wondering if you had recommendations for writing with more trauma-focused/interpretation of Medusa or other horror ish, female-focused works?
i hope whatever you’re going through eases soon. here are some things i hope might help.
What If We Cultivated Our Ugliness? or: The Monstrous Beauty of Medusa, Jess Zimmerman
Transforming Medusa, Charlotte Currie
Grand Unified Theory of Female Pain, Leslie Jamison
Nightingale: A Gloss, Paisley Rekdal
The Thread: Forged in Fire, Marissa Korbel
The Thread: Volcanoes, Marissa Korbel
The Girls Who Turned into Trees, Miranda Schmidt
There Is No Way Out of Here: Trauma and Transformation, Andrea Applebee
Make Me a Cold and Pitiless Goddess, Sharma Shields
Xenomorph, Sara Eliza Johnson
The Resurgence of the Monstrous Feminine, Hannah Williams
Our Talons Can Crush Galaxies, Brooke Bolander
Embrace Your Monstrous Flesh: On Women’s Bodies in Horror, Rebecca Harkins-Cross
Horror Lives in the Body, Megan Pillow Davis
Hero Status: Medusa, Hazel Cills
Medusa Writes for Teen Vogue, Dorothy McGinnis
Snake Eyes: The Power to Turn the Patriarchy into Stone, McKenzie Schwark
The Timeless Myth of Medusa, a Rape Victim Turned Into a Monster, Christobel Hastings
OUROBORICISMS, Alice Lesperance
On the Haunted Lives of Girls and Women, Rachel Eve Moulton
Prey, Kathleen Hale
Medusa Reflects, Jacqueline Doyle
you’ve given me a very broad topic and thus i have tried to give you a wide range of things to read. some of these don’t exactly fit what you requested, but since they helped me, i hope they might help you too. i’m always available if you want more. i hope you find your healing soon, angel 💖
