Queen of the Damned
Amil’s poetry is confessional. Her shadow self, her young Ophelia, is the “I” and “me,” the subject of her poems. Her writing calls upon the tradition of the female confessional poets of the 1960s, most notably Plath and Sexton. But unlike these poets, Amil is in harmony with her darkness. It hums through her but does not consume her. She also goes beyond the confessional form and elevates it by releasing the vague shackles of unrelated metaphor. Her “I,” her Ophelia, is emotionally available, even vulnerable, to her reader.

“My typology is . . . not in any sense to stick labels on people at first sight. It is not a physiognomy and not an anthropological system, but a critical psychology dealing with the organization and delimitation of psychic processes that can be shown to be typical.” —C.G. Jung
