Ooh, I finally got a minute to sit with this poem, and it's so incredibly powerful. "If a wild girl emerges from the bathroom a self- / Made woman she hates but who is desired she has proved herself a woman." I love that! Also: "as distant and difficult / As any country would let a woman artist be distant and difficult." Cheers to being women with two minds and lives difficult but wanted.
