Defending the illusion of you,
Strength and superiority
Covering chipped porcelain,
Locked me off from the world.
To walk a new path,
Must I smash you?
Free myself
From my
Self
About the Creator

Book Review: "American Poetry: A Very Short Introduction" by David Caplan
Help me, I'm stuck in the Very Short Introduction series and I can't get out! No really, this is becoming the same problem I had a few years ago when I got my limbs caught in the British Library Crime Classics series and ended up reading almost 100 of those books in perhaps a few months. Now, I've managed to find one on American Poetry, I have to say it is probably one of my favourites so far. I mean The Beats is good, but American Poetry has Phillis Wheatley and Emily Dickinson so it is, by default, better. The writer doesn't only display his knowledge of American Poetic History, he also provides some historical accounts of the people who wrote them, commenting on where they fit into the greater American landscape.

Nice work
Another RINGer! Loved it.
Mm this speaks to me. I've been circling attachment themes lately, too. I love this take on the challenge!
This brings the anatta doctrine to mind in an ingenious fashion. Well done!
Ooooh! Excellent take on the challenge!
The ending really touched me as I think so many of us can relate when we desperately yearn for that freedom. I loved your take on the challenge and appreciate the depth of your words!
That’s deep.
