Popis: | NOVEMBER, 1966, and before me is a book titled Ariel which I am reviewing for the University of Minnesota student newspaper. It is the first book review I've ever written. I push on, past my timidity, with a lead I hope is punchy: "Women poets, as a rule, have a hard time of it." I am the only girl on the student literary magazine. I am not really aware that I'm the only girl on the staff; I don't see things that way yet. It would never occur to me to say I am the only woman on staff. I want to be a writer, and I bring more urgency to this desire than to anything I actually want to write about. |
