  • She should be the Queen of Canada. The other one doesn't show up anyway. This one is more erudite. And whacky. We love our whacky Canadian women. She's brilliant when she writes. We can all aspire to be that good.

  • I would love to meet her. :)

see all

  • I love Margaret Atwood, she's sooo amazing. I in no way can come close to her talent, but one of her poems, "A Sad Child",is one of my favorites. I added a tune to the beautiful lines of the poem, and you all should check it out, especially if you like Margaret Atwood :)

    She's so sweet.

    For you who love poetry and music.

  • @mostlycaveman

    ... not a problem.  Peace to you too! :))

  • @cheeriosinabowl That very well could be... i was just working under the assumption that if i am going to share my thoughts on youtube i may as well be inflammatory and judgmental like most others. I apologize for my insinuation that you may not be a true lover of literature. You have every right in the world to dislike Atwood and her novels. I have, in fact, heard that some are quite boring. The ones I have read were not (in my opinion). Peace brotha (or sista).

  • @mostlycaveman

    .... no, you are wrong -- esp. with your last sentence.

  • @cheeriosinabowl riiighht... let's take Oryx and Crake for example: realistically rendered apocalyptic earth, practically prophetic in insight, lots of violence sex and drama, fascinating deeply flawed characters we can see in ourselves, witty insight throughout. BORING!! defeated sigh. TV generation I suppose.

  • I AM MARGARET ATWOODS LOVE CHILD!!!!! PLEASE CHECK OUT MY VIDEO "CONCRETE MEALS" POETRY JUST LIKE MY MOTHER.

  • Fun Woman....interesting interview...

  • She opens us up to the idea of thinking about "stuff"....that's what books, short stories, articles, blogs do. Forming an opinion - that is up to the reader (given the time taken to really think about it-impusivity-we are all weak...who doesn't take the time to read all the way through). We are allowed/given the opportunity here in this medium. Now, choosing our words. That is another story.

  • @djazr

    ... yes, that's true. We were forced to read useless Shakespeare in school, it was torture and a waste of time.

  • @cheeriosinabowl It's better than analyzing and dissecting Shakespeare
