Oh so you had a problem with the 'subject', not with the form and tone of her writing....meaning you didn't like this one poem of hers, but you may like some of her other ones...? Thats all I wanted to know... I'm a newbie in the world of literature.....seriously. Still exploring my preferences in poetry... I like poetry that is stark and realistic and emotional. Thats why i like her. Issues of the Second amendment were just her own political views [and i don't have an opinion on the subject although i personally don't want to own firearms] - and has nothing to do with her writing style, or why i like her. As for the politics, well....either extreme is toxic for the society IMVHO. i wish to look for role models in writing, but I dissociate between their material and their style. I prefer free verse and forceful delivery, and that is what i liked about her. Does this make sense ? BTW I discuss coz i want to explore and learn, not because i agree or I disagree.
