It may be a metaphor.
I've heard of Andrea Gibson (I recall really liking a couple poems) before but I cannot recall the context of the line you are referring to. I shall search Google.

Yeah, as far as poems go (my Portuguese teacher used to get us to do paraphrases of The Lusiads all the time) I'd go with them being metaphors rather than 'totally made up'.

Hey, I just had a big discussion about author vs. literary subject today. Weird.

I LOVE ANDREA oh man and she gets a fandom secret this is crazy

But um... as a fellow English major-- I mean, we learn that the truth behind what happened isn't necessarily important, right? And what is it that makes something true, really? Um... have you read The Things They Carried

/barely relevant. anyway, yeah, that sounds like a metaphor to me, and metaphor =/= complete fabrication, yes?

(Anonymous) 2011-03-17 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
This. All poems are "mere artistic creations." There is a difference between "facts" and "truth."

[identity profile] jlh.livejournal.com 2011-03-17 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly. I wish we weren't so literal, or obsessed with which parts were "true."

[identity profile] citrinesunset.livejournal.com 2011-03-18 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
I've always found it kind of odd that poems and songs are expected to be more personal and "true" than stories and novels. Granted, a lot of poets (and songwriters) do write autobiographically. But there's nothing wrong with writing a poem that's fictional, or using metaphor to describe something that's true, either.

How do you know that person is even telling the truth? Just saying..

(Anonymous) 2011-03-18 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
This feels kinda dodgy to me (if what erockett says is true, that is, not the secret itself) but I can't quite articulate why.
