You know her and I don’t, Quincy, but she seems to approve of the sonnets and essays in this collection (the angrier and more subversive, the better), while finding the form in general humorless, unsexy, preachy, trivial, incarcerating, persecutory and an “open grave” (and as persistent as racial, patriarchal and capitalist oppression, I imagine her adding).
