Well, I'm way behind on the topics here since no list messages
have appeared in my box since yesterday . . . just received a
glut.
I'd like to return to this issue since I'm in need of elucidation.
RE: Rich's comments about reading Dickinson and finding she
was using a 'male voice' rather than a 'female voice' -- what
are the definitions of these notions? Is 'female voice' defined
by content or style? Or both?
Can a male writer also write with a 'female voice'? Is a poet
like Gjertrud Schnackenberg considered to be writing with a
'male voice'?
Curious to know more . . .
Andy
