“When you're a female poet, would you, therefore, invoke a male muse? When nuns get consecrated into their vocations, they become brides of Christ. Christ is the bridegroom. In these symbolic actions, rather than in physical actions, where a male reaches sexuality or participates in intimate exchanges, if one uses a different term - there's often a heterosexual figuring that takes place. The male poet invokes a beautiful female muse. The virginal nun consecrated invokes the male bridegroom, Christ.” IfsDifferentUseActionBeautifulTermChristPoetFemaleMalesSexualityIntimateMuseVocationSymbolicBridesNunInvokeBridegroom Author:Shirley Geok-lin Lim

But, in the modern world, linguistic intricacies and embellishments do not attract much attention anymore, and the more sincere and intimate the relationship between a work and its reader, the better.” WorldWritingBeautifulAttentionModernSpecialPoetIntimateSincere Author:Simin Behbahani
