Abstract [eng] Birutė Pūkelevičiūtė, Liūnė Sutema and Sylvia Plath’s poetry unholds love and death Eros problems as a stuck of marginal experiences. Creation for the authors appears as a single niche, secure area where they can feel free, manifesting, developing new and transforming the old models of archaic world. It can be stated, that Liūnė Sutema and Sylvia Plath’s writing in myth and ritual motives in particular can be precisely interpreted as myth poetics. The lyric “I” is constantly changing due to external world of modern initiations: World War II - the death and resurrection (the new \"I\") realization, emigration (longing for the homeland, God, painful self – being), love struck (from developing and destructive passion, the Eros of love and death to the mythical or liturgical world as the source medium). The lyrical subjects in authors‘ poetry is the part of archaic world, but being the in modern world and accepting its rules, represent them as a certain concept. The basis of this conception is a connection between myth and modernity, the recreation of myth, the sensation of nature and contemplation on the path in between good and evil principles, amongst Erot’s conditions of lack and fullness. Birutė Pūkelevičiūtė and Liūnė Sutema’s poetry is full of biblical associations, liturgical motives which act as a cleansing and as a manifest form. In S. Plath's poetry, the lyrical subject is ambivalently bearing or sublimating the death of ‘Nietzsche God’, experiences the Nazi genocide, the motherhood and the hate to men. Intertextual poetry segments open up the fields which approach the fantasy, fictively constructed biographies, performance. The works of all three authors will be analyzed in theological, psychoanalytical, cultural plane of insights. Emily Dickinson's poetry, which indicates previous traditions, is also invoked for a comparative approach. The Myth of Old Testament and Ancient Greek appears as connection of Eros and myth in the poetry. Proposition of Eros, discovered in three authors poetry is different and appears in different forms. Eros of Death dominates and appears as in intense of sensory experience, as through desire to rebel, giving a meaning and desighn to their identity. The world of Liūnė Sutema‘s poetry is full of the images and motives of the Bible. The poetry of Birutė Pūkelevičiūtė is also a substantial experience of divine beauty – through the beauty and it‘s interpretation the Subjekt feels divine. In research field of the poetry, Eros appears trough hunger, rebellion, experience of divine beauty and poetical plane of myth.
