When you are romancing a woman in a relationship, it should be poetic. It should have layers.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The beautiful feeling after writing a poem is on the whole better even than after sex, and that's saying a lot.
It's always good when women win things in fiction because it tends to be more male-dominated, unlike poetry, which is more equal.
It's something that I feel I know about, relationships between men and women. I like to write from the woman's point of view now and again, to get inside her head, to feel what she's feeling.
Translation is like a woman. If it is beautiful, it is not faithful. If it is faithful, it is most certainly not beautiful.
One of the things women poets have been engaged in - among the other things they've been doing - is revising parts of the poetic self. Re-examining notions of the authority within the poem, and of the poem.
A lot of ink is given over to mythologizing female friendships as curious, fragile relationships that are always intensely fraught. Stop reading writing that encourages this mythology.
Romance is tempestuous. Love is calm.
It really is about the heart of a woman that makes her beautiful.
Women do not have as great a need for poetry because their own essence is poetry.
It is always the same: women bedeck themselves with jewels and furs, and men with wit and quotations.
