Poetry, Prose, and Assorted Opinions

A few poems by one of my favorite poets of all time.(She rules.)
Edna St. Vincent Millay.

A poem by Margaret Atwood, who also happens to be an amazing novelist.
Orange

A poem by A.R. Ammons, who I don't know a lot about, but am always impressed with. Autonomy

Some poems by Gerard Manley Hopkins, just because I find them strangely appealing in their own lyrically bizarre way.
The Manley Poems

Miscellaneous poems - always being added to.
Miscellaneous

The text from a t-shirt I got while volunteering at CARAL. Some of you may have thought you'd seen the last of this, and I admit, it doesn't speak to me the way it did when I was 17, but it's always worth reading.
Liberation Manifesto

And for the truly brave of heart, some angsty poetry I wrote sophomore year that has been languishing on my computer. My state of mind as of Spring 1996 is revealed to you. This poetry was actually very cathartic for me. Don't worry, I'm feeling much better about everything now.
my sophomoric efforts

More to come in this area soon - yes, I am a sucker for poetry, especially if I feel like I can disseminate it to the masses, or at least to whatever minute trickle of people there will be who actually get to this page. This will probably end up being quite an eclectic collection of stuff.
