#poetryandpower #nuyear Ariel? Truly powerful.Ginsbergs poems ,he kept evolving,speaking truth to power was an art form for him.Judy Grahn, lesbian, feminist,activist.Saw an interview with her on YouTube talking about how Trump brings out the worst & best in people.In her 70s , still uncompromising.Padric Pearse ,1 of the central figures in the Easter uprising of 1916, was executed by Britain for his role. Found his book in Dublin .

Cinfhen Nice❤️❤️well done 6y
TrishB Great choices 👍🏻 Don‘t have that Ariel! Don‘t know Grahn- but sounds up my street. Pearse I do, my grandad lost his leg in the 1916 uprising, crushed by a British army horse. I have a very mixed Irish/English background. The 1970s were not an easy time! 6y
Leftcoastzen @TrishB Wow that‘s sad about your grandad.I remember being shocked when I saw the bullet holes in the main post office in Dublin from the uprising. 6y

#NUYear #PoetryandPower
From the first English female poet laureate, and what can be a more powerful a statement than that, a succinct poem which perhaps reflects on my earlier post on the problems with masculinity.

MayJasper Excellent. Thanks for sharing 6y

#poetryandpower #nuyear I really enjoyed this collection of poetry based fairy tale retellings with a decidedly feminist bent that makes them more relevant especially teens for today. That said a number are dark, dark,dark! @TrishB also doubling up for #quotsyjan18 #never ! @TK-421

TrishB Stacked. I feel very drawn to this collection! 6y

The quiet resignation of this poem is perhaps also its power... "I tried to end up anyplace but here. Who am I kidding? Here I am."

TrishB I like the sound of poems read aloud by poets ❤️ 6y
Blaire @TrishB it‘s great. I got it in college and it‘s amazing to hear Robert Frost, sylvia Plath, Langston Hughes and more read their own work. 6y
TrishB I have Plath on tape reading her poems ❤️ I could go for a few others! (edited) 6y
