Get thee to a scanner! Here's a phone pic of my webcomic for Medusa's Head. I think Politics of Poetics might become an ongoing topic. The poetess is Lydia Sigourney , who was brought to my attention by a very interesting article by Annie Finch. The romantic poet is William Cullen Bryant , contrasted with Sigourney in that same article by Finch. The dialogue is quoted from Sigourney 's poem, " The Orphan ," Bryant's poem " The Yellow Violet ," Sigourney's " The Butterfly " and Bryant's " June ." For some feminist background on men who know things , check out Fannie's Room's take on the mansplaining phenomenon.
