This volume includes a series of poems that explore themes of love, nature, myth, and the passage of time. Wharton's lyrical and evocative style is evident throughout the collection, reflecting her deep understanding of human emotions and classical mythology. One of the standout poems in the collection is the title poem, "Artemis to Actaeon", which reinterprets the Greek myth of the hunter Actaeon, who is transformed into a stag and killed by his own hounds after glimpsing the goddess Artemis bathing. Through this and other poems, Wharton delves into the complexities of desire, transformation, and the often tragic consequences of human actions.

Edith Wharton (born Edith Newbold Jones; January 24, 1862 - August 11, 1937) was an American novelist, short story writer, playwright, and designer. Wharton drew upon her insider's knowledge of the upper class New York "aristocracy" to realistically portray the lives and morals of the Gilded Age.
