Interesting. We bring ourselves, our world, our essence into our interpretation of another's world. Personification, reductionism, alliteration. The very strength and beauty of any poem rests within it's ability to inspire such thought and emotion amongst the reader.

I think the woman deserved to be rude, Michael Braziller doesn't bring anything to this conversation or analysis of the poems. He goes over inane points of no consequence. He would make me react like this woman too, i felt she was really eloquent and very analytical in her observations of plaths poetry.

Carol Muske-Dukes [leaving aside the fact that she looks like a younger goldie hawn] is really not coherent. and she has no emotion what so ever when reading a poem.
