Wow. Such a great commentary. A favourite poem of mine too. I recited it for my major drama exam and got a high distinction to my joy. I felt connected to her as a single mother of teenage girls who were troubled like Sylvia. The poem itself was so powerful that I could not but choose it. You are such a clear thinker as far as I am aware to see all the feelings & ideas from male or female etc points of view. So refreshing. Thanks again.

That’s very kind, Kerry. I’m so glad to hear you love the poem; I just find it so intoxicatingly good, powerful but disturbing.
