Hi everyone. Thank you so much to everyone that is reading this blog post, or has read any of my blog posts ever

Poetry Series X: Noticing Details in Lady Mary Roth

this poem is actually by Lady Mary Roth, and is number 19 in her sonnet sequence called Pamphilia to Amphilanthus which are wildly cool names, and also cool because it’s a female poet! * The entire poem is slightly ambiguous, and although it’s obvious that she is sharing dark emotions and talking about loss after death, it doesn’t truly become clear that she is the one grieving until the final line, when she comes out and states “I grieve The poem talks about death throughout the entire piece, and mentions “sorrow” in the first line, but seems to forget about the sorrow and sad emotions for much of the middle third, instead talking about “darkness” more often. There is a lot of internal line punctuation, specifically commas, but the “harder” end line punctuation still makes the reader pause at the end of most lines more than they do in the middle * “condole” can mean both to grieve yourself and to console others, and so this vagueness makes it unclear whether the “very trees” are sad about summer’s parting, or if they are trying to make us feel better about it.

Poetry Series IX: “Curious” in Sonnet 38

I’ve really been enjoying posting the stuff I’ve worked on, and also it’s keeping my blog more active which I love, especially because everything i’m posting is very interesting to me and hopefully to you too! In the couplet of sonnet 38, Shakespeare states, “If my slight muse do please these curious days // In the literal sense of this line, Shakespeare is using his muse (the person he is speaking to) in order to write poetry good enough to please other people in these “curious days”. The love between himself and the muse is private, but in these “curious days”, other people are trying to interfere, and his poetry will show them this love even though they should not be trying to understand it.

That’s A Wrap! 2018 in Review

Last year, Final Girls was one of my favorite books ever and this year, Riley Sager’s next book is also on the list! That’s a decently significant portion of books I read, especially since if I hadn’t, I probably wouldn’t have found other books to fill them! Okay guys, I’m just gonna assume that nobody read this review because you all already read the book, because if that’s not the case, I don’t know what you’re doing. Over the past year, I haven’t written as much as I would ideally like, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t written at all.
