Thank you. :D

I agree with you completely. :D

What you've written is what literary scholars have categorized as "meta poetry" or poetry about poetry (or poetry about fiction . . . poetry about other literature), and it can become problematic if...

My approach to studying literature and poetry is to understand the cultural context in which it was written--that's one reason why I find a novel like, say Mody Dick (since it came up in another...

I think your comments about the poem provide an excellent insight into the culture that has shaped me and how I view my world and my experiences. The truth of the matter is that I didn't write that...

I took numerous poetry writing workshops when I was in college. We had to write one poem a week and then submit it to each member of the class for discussion the following week. I'm used to sharing,...

Good question, and thanks to everyone for the very kind comments.

I don't know if I can answer your question because I've never quite decided if I am or am not lamenting my fragmented self (the...

Gee, you sound upset. Wanna fill us in?

Oh, Moby Dick is boring, but it's also "wicked" because it's one of the finest examples of the character of early American literature. And, hey, it's filled with lots of wild homoerotic images that...

This thread is a little old, but I feel like writing. :)

The strangest dream I've had resulted from a graduate history seminar on the Holocaust that I took during my last year of grad school. On...

No, your request isn't unreasonable, at least not from the perspective of someone who feels she works hard. From your manager's point of view, on the other hand, if you're reading then you're not...

I think it depends. If you're using criticism to develop a thesis for a paper, then it's a good idea to find out exactly how many other critics have tackled the same piece of literature--the notion...
