RE: @Girlbeforemirror: A Tribute to Astonishing Talent ... and a Heart that is Gallant
The emotions make themselves known in her poetry, along with her doubts, her concerns - the rational and less-than rational elements which define her place along her journey. When I read poetry like hers, I can't help feeling envy. It is so crisp and naked, without being overly personal.. it remains abstract, even though it is also personal. A perfect balance.
@trumanity,
EXACTLY Tru ... that is an excellent insight and an excellent articulation of it! She does the same thing with humor ... it's there, and you notice it, but it's not making a spectacle of itself. Spiced to perfection.
Those balances create great poetry, and great literature in general, and are hard to achieve. They are also impossible to teach. You have the instinct ... or you don't. Marg does.
