In the article “Shitty First Drafts” by Anne Lemott she discusses how every writer has difficulty putting their ideas on paper because writing should be seen as a process that even the best and famous writers follow.

The subjects of her poems, most notably “Anorexia” and “In His Own Image,” were not wildly discussed at the time of their publication, and Boland believed that this wasn’t right.
