Helen,

I liked the poem, but can't be having with the thesis.

It might be worth noting that, in the UK at least, most poetry books are
bought by women.

I've had good poems rejected by magazines too. I imagine it's an
experience shared by many people on this list. It doesn't just happen to
women.

Why does it always have to go along the lines of sex? I'd consider my
voice to be affected by my age, upbringing, education, career, location,
marital status, hair colour, and a whole lot of other things.

Regards,
--
