first: thank you so much for the trigger warning <3.
and the poem itself...it's perfectly brutal. yesterday was the due date of the baby my cousins lost, and this poem perfectly encapsulates how i feel watching their grief. i'm obviously not gonna send it to them, but i'm really glad (saying "glad" here sounds so strange) i got to read it. which collection is it from?
1. You're welcome. I put up trigger warnings because you asked me to a while back, and I want exceptindreams to be a safe place for you and for everyone. <3 2. It's from her book Selected Poems: 1976-1986, page 70.
1. in that case, i am very glad i bothered to ask. thank you for your continued thoughtfulness <3 2. thank you! sometimes i think "i read way too much atwood," other times i think "oh my god, i have not read NEARLY enough atwood." probably a sign i just read way too much poetry in general :P
