Click hereI spend most of my time in left handed marriages. If I'm making up this story then it is phenomenal. If I'm a character goddamned that's pretty good too. I'm all confused about gender. Sexuality is easy. The Victorians fucked us and made us more ashamed than even the serpent and the garden debacle. I imagine a Glasgow smile because, well, that's where I was fucked. I see it there I nursed. Bitter. Quite bitter. Always thirsty. Different.

Angelinealmost 10 years agoI am often puzzled by why one poem receives an E and another does not, but sometimes I think the E is in recognition of a body of work, and that may be the case with you. You've submitted so many poems that (at least imho) are deserving of an E, that they finally picked a poem and awarded you one. But what do I know lol? I was always shocked at the poems I got the E for and irritated sometimes cause I thought I deserved one and didn't get it! And yes, Ishtat, I am left-handed. And pretty left-headed too. :-D
Cleardaynowalmost 10 years agoCongratulations on a very well deserved E.
Personally I would have given it to a different poem of yours (such as Ruled by Uranus). Although I enjoyed this one I was less taken by it. Left handed marriages does not invoke anything for me & ‘I see it there I nursed’ makes no sense to me grammatically let alone rationally. For me there are still gems - ‘Bitter. Quite bitter. Always thirsty. Different’ just gets me.
As I have said before, you have an amazing talent for putting together phrases. I always feel really happy when I see you have entered a new poem and it is like unwrapping a surprise present when I open it.
susansnowalmost 10 years agoAuthorAll the info you provided about the E is cool. 'Twas excited. The idea of the left handed marriage comes from the word Plaçage. I'm of Cajun French and African American ancestry, born in New Orleans. Plaçage is defined as the co-habitation of a free woman of color and a white man. I'm fascinated by the inherent binaries of this arrangement. Thanks for your feedback.
ishtatalmost 10 years agoI agree with Susan Snow rather than Angeline - I don't know what the green E is about either. It maybe just struck the right note with Laurel and that's enough for me when you consider what the poor woman has to wade through every day.
But I am a bit concerned: both my wife and I are left handed - but a deep and murky memory says Angeline is too
