I am interested that you use the word voice, poets are
supposed to find there voice, do you feel this same
obligation in your voice, if so there are some
interesting problems, the big male poets are often
attributed a unique voice does the female voice work
like this? each one unique but all women? or am I
missing the point? Personally I don't care too much
for voice one way or the other writing can take on
voices, or none, which suits me fine.
Besides I think class a greater suppresser of human
potential than gender which certain debates in
feminism seek to obscure. (especially ones that try to
stress the uniqueness of female existence.)
liked the poem for its rhythm, which I suppose is the
point, the first time round with all the wacky spacing
seemed kind of intriguing though, which was lost a bit
when it all got straightened out.
