Eli to the nth: NPM: Women Poets

quotes Elisquared likes

"Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself."— John Green

NPM: Women Poets

Continuing the celebration of National Poetry Day, I have a video for you all! I've decided to highlight some of my favorite women poets. Some of you may not know this, but poetry is a very male dominated field. Being the good feminist I am, I wanted to share how kickass the ladies can be. I've picked three amazing poets, and I've read a selection from one of their book of poems. You can find out more about each poet at the links down below, and please enjoy the reading!
