Most of us grew up reading classics from women like Sylvia Plath and Emily Dickinson. However, modern issues come with modern poets, and these 10 poets tell it the way it is. They also dig into the reality of what it is like to be a woman.
It looks like the magic ring for the pot is open. I’m confused about how to use the plate. If I leave the bottom open, the stuffing will be exposed. Can you give a little more guidance on this? Thank you so much!
