Rewriting Mythology: Peter Gunn on Poetry and the Forgotten Feminine Voice

n this episode of Abstract Poetry, Daniel Lucas welcomes special guest Peter Gunn, a poet, author, composer, speaker, and the creative mind behind The Angelics and LLP: Link to Lyrical Poetry. Peter reveals how his work blends music, mythology, poetry, and meaningful messages designed to awaken people from what he calls a “sleepwalking state.” The conversation explores Peter’s writing process and his mission to restore the underrepresented feminine voice in classical storytelling. Inspired by the birth of his daughter in 2010, Peter began questioning why legendary works such as Beowulf and The Odyssey rarely place women at the center of the narrative. He discusses reimagining mythology through stronger feminine perspectives and creating stories in which women are not merely supporting characters, symbols, or villains, but powerful figures who lead their own journeys.
