I'm a second year university student, trying to find some safe ground to build upon. Poetry has been my outlet, my mirror, for years. However, ever since I decided to pursue English and writing, I've been feeling less able to commit myself to it seriously. Lately I haven't written as much as I should, so this is my attempt to assuage my guilt and get some work done. I have a strong distaste for straightforward representations of angst, love, etc. My favourite writers are Vladimir Nabokov, Dylan Thomas, Henry James, Tom Robbins, and Milan Kundera.

My Poetry
-
throttled by the crowds but spurred on
by the vision of star-bright success -
by the desire for something beyond dark peasantry. -
you come in at five in the morning
take the keys from the door and throw them on my bed -
the hollow sound of the respirator
as it pumps air into a body that will collapse -
to this ancient living strain:
the mellowed power and legacy of womanhood.24 lines, 1 comment, November 9, 2008. In Life
