lydecker Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I dunno. I just cracked up when I saw the Overview for Winter Meeting this AM. I think I get what they mean by "repressed" (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) but you have to look long and hard to find somebody who is both repressed AND a poetess. No wonder they made a movie about it!

"A repressed poetess and an embittered war hero help each other cope with their problems." It's an awkward modifier.. Is the person's poetry being repressed or is she actively creating poetry but some other, uh, aspect of herself is being repressed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Gorman Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Maybe Bette Davis' character is based on Emily Dickinson? I dunno. I reckon in 1885 Miss Dickinson sent a dress off to be drycleaned. She was not satisfied after paying and receiving her dress back. So she insisted it be 're-pressed'. 👍 DAMN RIGHT!

Good question. You probably won't want to waste too much time pursuing an answer to this, but it can be your mission, should you choose to accept it.
