Hey Lizzie,
Thanks for your feedback. It gave me some ideas about where to take this poem from here. I am definitely rethinking the rape image, and reading what you said actually gave me an idea for a more effective image.
One of the reasons I write about poetry's marginalization in the modern world is because of one of my favorite poems. It's called "Portrait of Poet as Landscape". It was written by A.M. Klein and was published long before I was born. This poem is like my shadow, and I just can't escape its influence some times. May be I am being too poetic here (irony?). Anyway, I thought I would mention the poem for some food for thought.
Thanks again,
Richard
