all you need is oxygen. 2008-09-28 ch 1,	i don't care if this was meant to be everything but read. it's amazing. i love the part about "a gurl with a url". it's lovely, and creative. the words rolled off of my tongue. i had to read it out loud quite a few times before i found a rhythm, though.
rassoodock 2008-05-08 ch 1,	you are genius. amazing. if i could, i would swallow you whole in hopes of catching and absorbing some of your powers.
siphoned afterglow 2008-03-26 ch 1,	i just stumbled upon your writing today and i have to tell you that you impress me like crazy. i love this piece. this is brilliant. favs
Tytherpol 2007-11-21 ch 1,	holy ** wow. the motions of your words are incredible. i've never seen a poem read at a 'slam' or anything, but this paints a perfect picture, and i could hear it being read as i thought it. actually, i have been asked to come perform some poetry of mine at this little thing downtown with some friends, but i had no idea what to do because most of my poems aren't meant to be read out loud--most of their thought comes from the line breaks, but now i know what i will write for it. thank you so much. "I’m a disappointment, the scheduled appointment at the abortionist’s clinic that didn’t show." --your words say so much. very awesome. great job. -ty.
servatis-a-pereculum 2007-10-18 ch 1,	This is amazing, I can definitely envision how awesome it would be performed. The part with a "gurl with a url" is my favorite stanza, especially "nihilistically-degendered self." Cop out review? I think not! ^_~
bratja 2007-07-26 ch 1,	I don't even know what to say. I just loved this so much. I'm yearning to see it preformed, now--if it's this good read, it must be even more amazing the way it was meant to be! "today I’m a womyn with a Y, with a question of equality, with a lesson in admonition: I am not the second sex, I am not just x plus x — man plus womb does not equal justice." was probably my favorite part of this. I love how in-your-face this is. "I have a and breasts instead of a and testes — yes that’s right — I said it." I had to chuckle there. I know I've said this before, but this is just amazing.
La Vida 2007-05-08 ch 1,	Beautifully put. It's a war cry. Another one for the favourites list. I should make a section for you. All your poems are so enthralling. You're the only poet on this entire site whose poetry I read and feel this invigorated.
she smolders 2007-04-29 ch 1,	Today, I think I was a lady. I've never read a slam poem though but to me, this was perfection. Your descriptions, and the imagery, and the way the lines flow, just leave me speechless. What you say is true too, I feel like a different person everyday. Take care.
Some Assembly Required 2007-04-03 ch 1,	Wow, I really liked this and the idea of it, too. It flows really well when I was reading it aloud, even if it doesn't continually rhyme or whatnot. Especially like the first three verses. Haven't seen many Slam performances, so I can't exactly give constructive crit. but I think this was definitely very powerful.
Violet Marx 2007-03-29 ch 1,	Definitely very powerful. I haven't read much slam, so this is a bit different from what I /have/ read. I like where you added rhyming/assonance in just the right places. 'shopping deals'. Hm. That puts the picture in my mind that you are trying to find a bunch of sales. Perhaps I am wrong, but from my experience those ladies love to brag about just how expensive it was, and that /they/ were able to pay for it, no sweat off their slender backs. Yeah that's all I could find to critique. >.> Your poetry is fantastic.
Kicking Poe 2007-03-29 ch 1,	really like the grittiness and intensity of this, as well as how you show all the facets of women. I'm not very familiar with slam poetry so I can't offer much of a critique, but this was definitely powerful and resonant. cheers.
