At this point in time, I believe that women carry within ourselves the possibility for fusion of these two approaches as keystone for survival, and we come closest to this combination in our poetry.
I find this comment to be so fun. Women get to carry the ideals of this "keystone for survival" in means of poetry. It reminds me greatly of my love for the confusing and confounding poems, and my boyfriend's love for the simple and straightforward prose.

The ending of this will truly stick with me, as this notion of no one caring about Icarus' fall always makes me question the story. No one to care for you seems implausible.

I find this brings me the most joy when I have yet to fully understand the entire depth of poems and their meanings or knowledge.
the first known story of a writer is also the first known story_o titer’s block.
I find this sentence extremely interesting- as many times stories do cause hardships to write. It almost feels endearing knowing that writers struggle as often as common-folk, and experience such normalities as writers block.
a froto-feminist statement: an unstoppable goddess who defies all norms and forces the older gods into submission is a compellingly inspirational figure in the fight against patriarchy.
It is upsetting how women having control and being in power, even in times way past ours now, is considered feminist and inane. Women having the same rights and power stance as a man will seemingly always be feminist and not just something that should happen- something equal.

I think that it is unfair to say that finishing a poem has no meaning and no worth to finishing. There is a satisfaction to finishing novels, yes- but there is sometimes a greater satisfaction to deeply understanding poetry, instead of just reading mass amounts of words.

I feel as though this could be fought against as untrue. Even the shortest poems have a beginning and end- and I think even an unfinished work still has the ending as the last word written.
List of 4 Poetry Books You Choose toRead
Is this dictated by you (the professor) or by us? And is something like a book in free verse a book that we would be able to pick? It seems extremely interesting if we are all able to pick our own 4 books to help guide us through this class. I am also very excited for the poetry slam, and whatever that entails!
This will stretch the boundaries of what you may think you are capable of to new levels.
This comment is so joyful and hopeful, as pushing ourselves is so innately human. I love to be pushed and told that I will be growing.
