All the male poets write of orpheus as if they look back & expect to find me walking patiently behind them. they claim i fell into hell. damn them, i say. i stand in my own pain & sing my own song.

I like the poem. There is so much written, painted and sculpted with the lament of orpheus as subject, but so little on how it all must have felt for Eurydice. I recommend the Orpheus poems of Margaret Atwood.
