In Jane Shore's collection That Said -
In 'Willow', by pitting herself against the tree and against the well wishers of the tree, she has two narratives going on. One of her wish of fate for it and the other of the rest of the family.
In 'Priorities' - with the explanation of the setting of the apartment, the poet invites both the readers familiar with and unfamiliar with the environment into the poem. This is a beginning which encompasses all readers into the 'written for you' club.
My father's shoe trees. By story there's a reference to Cinderella's story without its mention, assuming that its a story known to all. Then this poem is meant for everyone.
American girl Addy
In 'Tender acre' , 'Then bands of bargello stitched the skin' are used to describe the snake. This one word does the magic for the poem. A poet is for correct naming of things.
Lobels
Mikveh
Kewpie
The poet manages to not polarise the readers into one slot. If she gets readers with experiences similar to her interested in her poem by familiarity, she draws in the rest with curiosity. If she gets certain readers to root for her feelings of dislike, she leaves the rest unguilty by providing them another dias for their point opposite to her feelings.
