I saw a contradiction here. She said (and allow me to write this in sentence form), "I think I finally understand why men love dogs so much. They're unquestionably loyal. They're easy to command. They hate me because I refuse to be either of those things." And then the poem after that, literally after that, was, "Tell me who your dream girl is. Give me a list a forest long. I'll be her. I'll be anyone you want me to be." But isn't that being commanded to do something? And she just said she refuses to be commanded? Huh?
I think she reached a point where she writes just to have a new book published. Not from the heart anymore. Or maybe the case is that she gets inspiration from the same life stories she's had, so her poems and prose have become repetitive but written in different ways.
