AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The author sees the poet's intentional witholding of self from the poem to be a form of self-annihilation, and obliterating the quality of care that is at the heart of human relations. In Simkute's work, however, he sees a poet who cares, speaking to us with her poetical soul of a world we can feel responsible for.
