    She's a classic feminist/lesbian, except somehow manages to be more annoying than them. ;)

    She seems to just hate men in her poems. I mean I know she's feminist like, but has she got any good word for us? :(

    She just seems like that kinda woman who would constantly overthink EVERYTHING and annoy the ****e outta you about it. That said, I like how her poems are written and the clever metaphors and just the thought behind them expressed so vividly yet simply...

    Forom what's done so far, I'd be hoping to do Frost, Dickenson, Rich, Yeats and Kavanagh.

    Tbh, i don't notice the difference between poets. Maybe themes but that's preety much it. All poetry is just boring to me and doesn't interest me at all :o
