My point was that they were talking about her being the first female poet laureate ( the literal translation of what they called her new position is : the poet of the thrown) .. my point was that the main theme of that programme was ( being the first ) and that's why i think they should have mentioned her sexuality as relevant to her ( pioneerness ) .. i think they didn't do that because they were considering conservative reactions !
being able to understand , and fully enjoy the poem written in a foreign language , is the most difficult task for someone who is not a native speaker , i think , but will be a good prize - and worth effort - if he makes it in the end .. i think i have to do a lot to reach that level .. often i don't try reading English poem because i think i will misunderstand it .
but still i want to enjoy what you wrote mimicking Carol's poem , so i think i will first have to have an idea about Carol's poem . which of her poems should i read ?
