Summary: "Lycanthropus" by C. Edgar Bolen is a narrative poem published in the mid-20th century. It explores themes related to transformation and primal instincts, likely focusing on the mystical and metaphorical themes surrounding werewolves and the concept of lycanthropy. The poem unfolds a vivid depiction of an individual's transformation under the cover of night, as they embrace their inner beast. The speaker describes a profound change from human to wolf, highlighting the sensations of body morphing and the intoxicating lure of the hunt. Through striking imagery, the poem effectively conveys the ambivalence of yielding to one's darker nature, as the protagonist revels in their new form and the exhilarating, blood-thirsty instincts that accompany it. The connection to ancient gods and the evocative descriptions of the dark setting enhance the exploration of what it means to give in to primal, animalistic urges.
