I hope this will help. Check up on  Emma Donoghue.\nHer site lists many of Her works and gives sites where they can be purchased.\nI believe that this is her site..\nhttp://www.emmadonoghue.com\nAs a special favor, could you let me  know how you get on ?\nNot all her stories are strictly lesbian but 2 of my favorites are 'What Sappho Would have Said" and " The Woman Who Gave Birth to Rabbits|.\nThank heaven for a sensible question. Bless you love. Rose P.

I'm sorry these people were so rude. Unless you haven't already, forget what they said. It would be especially complicated if you sang for me or anyone else (great hassle, might not be local or appropriate), but, as a young composer, I'm interested in music that you made up. If you can save an audio file, email is expedient.

I have too much respect for jazz musicians to spill the beans about what I know. I'm disappointed to hear your writing a paper about this. These guys went to extremes to share their art, some went to far.  I think it's sad that you're concentrating on their lose.

I love Sonnet 130!\n\nI like this site, too:\n\nhttp://www.shakespeare-online.com/sonnets/130detail.html\n\nIt has the poem paraphrased and analyzed.\n\nMore information, including quotes from other writers is at:\nhttp://members.aol.com/danieledg1/sonnets.html\n\nI hope Shakespeare's mistress had a good sense of humor and that she waited around for the end of the sonnet.

You find plenty of examples of people (most of them amateurs) giving their opinion on this poem simply by using the search engine google.com and search on the text strings "emily dickinson"  and "hope" -- or, better still, "emily dickinson"  and "thing with feathers". \n\nHowever, if you want a link to some REAL literary criticism I suggest you go to the Dickinson pages of the Online Literary Criticism Collection. It's a personal favourite of mine, though perhaps a bit too "academic"  for a school essay. Anyway, here it is: http://www.ipl.org/div/litcrit/bin/litcrit.out.pl?au=dic-61

I looked at your question and since I love quotations (and remember Eddie Cantor), I thought I'd give a try to find the source.  Good grief.  A zillion quotation sites, and nary a source.  I did come up with another place for you, though - The Eddie Cantor Appreciation Society (with a site currently visited by over 99,000 whoopee makers) has an email address (info@EddieCantor.com).  If I were you I'd ask them, as some fans probably know dialogue by heart.  Good luck, and sorry I wasn't able to be more precise.

The Bird Man of Alcatraz ... I have no idea why that just came into my head ... no idea at all!! (I don't believe I have read the book, either, though I know something about him.)\n\nI would talk to him about his life and how he came to be where he was. I would ask how he came to care for the birds and whether and how that changed his perception of life. I think understanding how things have changed other people's lives inevitably changes ours for the better.

As Yahoo Answers is a place for sharing knowledge to questions, so the question and answers can became part of a huge data base, this really is not a place to get comment and critiques on your writing/poetry. There are some nice places on the net you can do this though. Here are some suggested sites:\n\nhttp://www.deviantart.com/\n(yes, they do have a literary section)\n\nhttp://www.thepoetsanctuary.net/\n\nhttp://forum.celaine.com/
