I Am My Own Heroine [poems]

I look forward to continuing to find ways to inspire my students. I just want to keep writing and reading, to be honest. As a woman and a writer, I think it is important to feel as if you are part of a community and part of starting my own reading series was to help get my footing in the literary community here in NYC. I think writing by women continues to be as intriguing and as honest as it ever was. Obviously barriers are broken down each day, and each year.

I think more people should embrace creating blog, tumblrs, twitter, and using online writing workshops, because we can now. Having a support system gives you confidence. Some of my favorite people are writers that are either publishing their first books this year, or next, or are still at work on their first books. A typical under the radar subjectivity removes the feminine from the female. As writer then, quill possesses subject. How does female possess her feminine without painting the domestic space in charcoal binaries? Where does this color balance the masculine?

I love this question and love that poem. The question is, what is she free from? I think maybe both. When my marriage failed, I learned that I could possess the feminine in the domestic space, and also be and do whatever I wanted.

I also recognized that it had to be with a sense of self and a sense of what being female means to me. In the poem, the speaker is putting herself first and she is surviving the wreckage of the marriage. The marooning is a shock, but she accepts the binary and moves past it. I see this poem as a sort-of reckoning. It sees it shatter.

No flotsam or jetsam. She carries the love regardless of its failure. There is no name for what is left after the drowning. So, I think the binaries shift because of the agency that the female speaker gains in the poem. The unending giving and reputed receiving is folded and unfolded. We can unindent a word, so why not unemotionalize the word, or the whole story? In your opinion does emotionalizing language absorb idiocracy in its inability to present unemotionalizing positive or negative opinions?

What is the fear of emotionalizing or placing the body back into the language of the laws that govern our linguistic structure? To change the energy of the linguistics is to shift the energy.

But is bland not the same toke as apathy? Where is the body? How is this translated to the letter? This is a complicated question. This poem is built around suffixes and prefixes.

Inflections matter and, even, non-verbal cues matter. In terms of placing the body back into the language of the laws that govern our linguistic structure, I think the body is important to think of in terms of language because they are connected. I actually think this is one of the dark dangers of our digital age: I teach two Orwell novels in the classroom.

It can be so easily oppressed, and twisted. If you do, then you can hold onto what you value. In Domestic Uncertainties, I am manipulating language, and I am also reinventing language. It all relates to the new found glory of the speaker. I started thinking of relationships, specifically marriage, and the use of appositives in the everyday conversations of couples. I thought about pet names, about email salutations, etc. In using an appositive, you can also cover up the truth; you can reinvent the truth; but you can also negate it.

The rising-up relates back to your earlier question. The speaker is not making apologies, or feeling sorry for herself. The self at any given point could just crumble. A partner in a marriage is more than a companion; they should be part of a partnership: Partners and patronize share some of the same letters. By the end of the collection, the most pleasurable aspects of the speaker shine from her wit and rebelliousness. The book suggests that a woman of this sort will always pull through, and her self will evolve through transcendence.

So many stories about women in houses; women out of houses; women in and out of love, we should open a shop and fill it with Kleenex and booze. We are all uncloistered now: Use us sparingly before we become less-honest; indecent; less-sacrificial. In the thick of it all, there will always be a longstanding attraction here in our shape and form.

The voice crying out from this wrecked romantic union seethes with bitterness, wit, defiance, and courage; the female speaker also remains dominant throughout the text, uncovering truths and barking orders at her lost lover: It was all appositives. Say it for me. Prostituting the fact that people can turn. The way us became you.

I took us out of my lexicon. In fact, the speaker seems desperate to do so: I will keep defining. I mean, I, will keep defining. I mean, I, will keep.
