Based on the narrative structure of Greek epic cycle, Kyclos, the study explores Elizabeth Bishop’s In the Waiting Room. Bishop’s autobiographical poem, In the Waiting Room has many circular images with a cycle structure, and these aspects follow the Kyclos narrative. A common girl in the poem experiences heroic adventure, and the significance of her daily episode takes on historic and universal totality. This poem shows a “thematic bridge” of Kyclos epic, which is used to “continue a unified storyline lying beyond the boundaries of the poem at hand”(Fantuzzi and Tsagalis 3). The beginning description of the poem summarizes the ending episode of Bishop’s memoir, “The Country Mouse” so that the beginning word, “Worcester” is highlighted as a meaningful place throughout the poet’s entire life. It also begins in medias res (in the middle of) like Kyclos epic employing reverberation technique. Experiencing a cyclic adventure, “a going and returning,” the small girl of this poem is dramatically transformed into an epic hero. She is grown up spiritually by establishing a new connection with total strangers.
