    My teacher said she was still alive, living in brazil with her partner michelle someone, but when i googled her everywhere says she died years ago.

    Anyone know? If shes dead, we can hardly be asked to write a letter to her!
    Thanks

    No way. She's still alive.. I saw her last week. Same with Elvis, and Kurt Cobain. Saw them all at a restaurant last week.

    all I can say is what a tool of a teacher - One of her assignments was to write a letter to bishop...

    Thanks for the help, off to change it into a personal response essay..

    Adrienne Rich's partner is called Michelle.
    Your teacher is getting her lesbian poets mixed up.

    What about the one who wrote An Oileán (Or however it's spelt, too late for this), that is some seriously creepy shít! Last verse is just filth.

    At least O'Searcaigh's poetry is easy* to write about. I'd love if it came up!

    They could still ask you to write a letter to her, like imagine if Elizabeth Bishop was still alive today, write a letter to her expressing blah di blah ... etc. you get the idea. Its good to have it all covered like, coz some of the questions asked are awkward as hell and letters have come up before a few years ago, one could be due.

    To be fair, he didnt actually break any laws.

    What he did was pretty sick, but it wasnt actually illegal. Exploitive? Maybe. Illegal? No, not as far as we know.
