Take the I Out

Here's a perfect poem for my most recent writing freak-out, the fact that I seem to be stuck in first person and can't "get the I out" of my work. Lori-Lyn from my writing group (KaPow) helped me feel better about it by sending me the Sharon Old's poem I linked below. Maybe I'll play around more once I make the big leap to the world of MFA'ers, but for now I'm going use I as freely as I want.

Take the I Out by Sharon Olds
