One Depressed, Talented and Hardworking Poet

Ariel
This poem was published after she had passed away. It was a very depressing poem. Enotes.com described it as having "Holocaust metaphors and allusions", which creates a poetry that captures the trauma and suffering of the ones she's writing about. She communicates the horrors of living in a suffering female body. The poem speaks through power, brutality, and violence. It also emphasizes on issues to female agency and freedom, or lack thereof.

Daddy
This poem is very dark and I think it is very creep. And like the title says, is about her dad. Her dad was never nice to her, she even mentioned she wanted to kill him, but she was too late because he had already died when she was ten. This poem rhymes a lot and it is pretty consistent. I like this poem because it really explains what she really feels like with her family and some of what she went through.
