What is the aim or goal of your writing: "In poetry, I want to communicate as simply and concisely as possible with a wide audience. I am very interested in psychology, nature, religion, and women's experiences. In literary criticism, I like wrestling with difficult intellectual problems and solving them to illuminate literature and language for others."
