Margaret Atwood, who is ranked #96 on top 500 poets of the world on date 23 October 2020, is wonderful poetess of deep knowledge. Her poems reflect deep perception and philosophical aspects. Reading and reviewing her poems I feel very happy. More and more she has grown in hearts of people.
Her book The Robber Bride opens on October 23rd. I remember because it is my birthday and I was tickled pink by it as a teen.
This is a very special book-a book everyone should read-I am amazed how well written, dealing with the sensitive material, the Autism aspect teaches us so much about patience and listening to the animals and humans. Is this book in the schools?
Margaret Atwood I think one of the great poetess of the natural environment
Anybody know the name of a poem by MA that has this line in it: “We are a dying symphony...” thanks John
All of her work has helped me through the tough time of my childhood. I am now a better person and can overcome anything. #believetoachieve
Margaret Atwood's styles so natural.... it flows from the heart to the ink of the pen and onto the paper surface (that's my attempt at poetry) It encourages wannabe poets like me... to take courage that poetry writing is not so complicated... a view Ms Atwood (a poet with a string of awards) endorses A BIG THANK YOU
She's great with the cleverness and craft, fresh rather than trite. Definitely one of my favs.
Atwood's poems reveal a raw sense of feminism and wit. She writes freely yet craftily addresses the issues she wishes to broadcast. I really love her cynicism and apparent indifference to appearances and norms. She's radical!
She is a feminist yes, but unlike msny her feminism is not void of morality which some uf not most ignore.
In the secular night, seems to be a cynnical poem addressing ones life. It is made apparent there is a sort of deterministic lifestyle, presented to humans 'you took..you say..you start..' almost makes the reader feel as though he has no choice or power over his own actions. Also, the reader feels as though hes all alone, yet since he really has no power over his own actions, his seclusion is inevitable. The poem is a story of life, from start to end and the continuity of life. It starts with the 'secular' which could mean 'from century to century', and ends with the century grinds on... implying an on going cycles of centuries. 'The sensed absence of God and the sensed presence, amount to much the same thing' this poem also addresses Gods role in life, once a person believes he has no power over his own actions, the existence of God is irrelevant. Overall the poem in the secular night, is about life, its assumed ownership over the person, and his inability to do anything about it.
I just now discovered you. We were born the same year. I experience your poems as quite arresting.
