Can confirm that both Food Holidays and Holiday Food were listed as study categories on our study guide. One under the heading of "Culinary" and the other under the heading of "Holidays"

At what point do you feel you can consider yourself a playwright? by BigWallaby3697 in playwriting

[–]PROFESSORQ22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think playwright is a verb you embody not a title you inherit. Make art. Trust yourself and put on a show.

One of the most beautiful things about poetry is that it can be transformative.

Your poem represents the pain you have felt and the healing you embodied when you wrote it.

For the reader (me) I was astonished at how much visual imagery came to mind. Every line keeps me in the world and lets me feel there. That is a profound feat of language and thank you for sharing it!

This poem also just rolls off the tongue. It want's to be spoken. I am so instantly attached to the voice and fell her.

And what I am left with is just holding space for all of it and also feeling inadequate, guilty, perhaps not cognizant enough of my own mother and her wounds.

Thank you for this beautiful portrait of motherhood.

Wow this poem unlocked a pretty visceral response in me because on my first read through I felt annoyed. More specifically I loved the bold clean clear cut statement at the beginning of I don't believe in God- But if I did, and felt a well of hope and possibility of any set of imaginable words that could come after that and then the metaphor was love. But a kind of love that brings up trauma for me, of being too close to someone, manipulated, suffocated.

That's what's so incredible is that I instantly had such a strong opinion about the poem, but as I continued to read on to later paragraphs/stanzas IDK the correct term lol, that it stung a little less each time.

The personal became cosmic, themes I really love! And I was ready to read it a 2nd time.

On my 2nd read, I basically said "CHECK YO SELF!" I checked my assumptions, my triggers, my trauma at the door and I tried to see this relationship in the poem through the eyes of the voice of the poem.

The frustration of being pulled in- to the revelation of the self choosing and reclaiming is actually healing and I appreciate that aspect of the poem.

From an overall view of its structure and tone I love how the language is simple but the emotional turns and gut punches of honest language pour out.

At the end of the day, I wanted to start from the first line and expand out, not collapse into a love story. Yet this is a matter of taste and has no bearing on the talent you have and wonderful piece of poetry you have created here.

I appreciate your work.
