I was gonna do a blog post....then I took an arrow to the knee.

Now I’ve got lots of other [expletive deleted] to do so I’ll attempt to make this one as swift and painless as possible. Now in the past I’ve have not sheltered Gestapo Officer Mary Oliver from my angsty stinging arrows of adolescent criticism. But right now I should be annotating articles about Hamlet and how much he wants bone his mom right now so personal opinions must be a non factor in this one. Now in this chapter Gestapo Officer Mary Oliver discusses imagery and how if factors into the craft of poetry as a whole. The very first thing Gestapo Officer Mary Oliver does is define imagery…thanks I guess. After that Gestapo Officer Mary Oliver goes on using apples and peaches as examples for how we need to use intimate details in our poetry, because clearly something as personalized as poetry absolutely NEEDS detailed imagery or else it does not count and is detritus in the eyes of Gestapo Officer Mary Oliver. Then Gestapo Officer Mary Oliver uses a poem that’s three pages that I to be candid did not read for an example of that apple or peach or pear thing about how awesome details. After that Gestapo Officer Mary Oliver talks about figurative language and how it NEEDS to be believe able or else you suck as a poet and should just go kill yourself because Gestapo Officer Mary Oliver doesn’t approve. The last important thing Gestapo Officer Mary Oliver does in this chapter is conclude her ideas by relating them back to the purpose of literature which I can king of get behind.
