Welcome to Litsy!

Picked up some old-school Atwoods at the thrift store.

My #Atwood collection, minus two volumes that are on loan to a friend. (The one on the right is an eBook, my only Atwood not on paper.) #AugustAuthors @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @OriginalCyn620

This is just the first stanza of the title poem #door #poetrymatters @TheSpineView

Atwood is a stunning writer but her poetry is through the roof insane!!!! Such wonderful observations that manage to traverse the personal and public spheres so effortlessly. Favourite poem was ‘Gasoline‘ - amazing last stanza!!!!!

I read this Jan 20-26 and gave it 4 ⭐️. It certainly has made me want to read more of Atwood‘s poetry. This book is almost 50 years old but it reads as if it was written yesterday. It‘s language is very concise, simple and powerful.

“I am a travesty, in bad make-up and someone else‘s clothes, used glitz.#

Second time reading this now! I think I'll write my next assignment on this. It's so well written and highlights the capitalist society we live in. Consumerism and capitalism could be the end... Atwood highlights this through her speculative fiction. #litstudent #dystopia #atwood #litstudentsoflitsy #coffeeandpaper

This was strange, very uncomfortable at times, but overall a fascinating read. Dystopian fiction at it's best! #catsoflitsy #justfinished #atwood #fiction #dystopian
