“The world has been tragic since the day Adam and Eve sinned in the garden. From that moment murder, mayhem and war entered the scene and we are still suffering the consequences of a man-driven, self-serving, short-sighted environment.” MenWorldHas BeensStillsWarSelfMomentsSufferingEnvironmentSceneConsequenceGardenMurderDrivenTragicServingThat MomentAdamAdam And EveSelf ServingMayhemShort SightedSuffering The Consequences Author:Louie Giglio
“What does it mean to be a used white wife, a mother, a tragic girl writing poems? Sandra Simonds gets into these messy words and then tears them apart. Sometimes with the words of others. And sometimes with poems made from scratch. They aren't all bad, these words. But they aren't all good either. And that is where Mother was a Tragic Girl gets its power. You will at moments be laughing but then you will also at moments just as much be crying. If Antigone was alive and decided to write some poems about the nuclear family, she would write them like Sandra Simonds. These are tough.” IfsWritingMeanDoeMadeSometimesMomentsUsedMotherGirlWhiteLaughingAliveWifeCryTearsToughDecidedNuclearTragicScratchesMessyAntigoneWriting PoemsNuclear Families Author:Juliana Spahr
