Pegeen Kelly's work centers around the investigation of religious ideas/images through nature. Such aspects of birth, lactation, references to red, blood, etc. are evidence of this.
1. Religious processes reimagined in natural occurrances
2. Kelly incorporates myth into the discussion, myth as an accessory to religion
In addition, the material world seems constructed through our natural observation
1. Use of the eye, the self, and the setting are key "windows" in her poems representing special perspective, i.e., how people define elements of religion.
2. Myth is structured through nature
Nature is imagined as supernatural, leading away from the mundane via myth and religion
1. Pegeen Kelly takes the mundaneness of nature and enhances it through myth. Such poems as The Wolf, Black Swan, etc. use natural elements in a mystical/religious way leading to an elevation of the natural as something inspirational to man, not merely the environment in which he resides.
