“The sixteenth century begins the history of identifiable English women poets. One of the first poems by a women in the century is ‘My Heart is Set Upon a Lusty Pin’ by Queen Elizabeth of York. It is a poem especially interesting to teach as a study in historical context. It seems a very conventional poem (and so Theresa Coletti assures us, since it is a pastiche of late medieval motifs from love poetry). But when seen as a marriage poem by the woman chosen to be the peace offering by the Yorks to the Lancasters, the woman who was chosen to be a symbol of unity of England after civil war, the poem takes on great interest: it can be read as a hymn of relief that Elizabeth, who would have been married to Henry Tudor, no matter what he was like, has been granted by Venus a husband she can endure.”

Kaz’s bitter coffee eyes remained trained on the horizon, the rising sun painting him in pale gold light. “Crows remember human faces. They remember the people who feed them, who are kind to them. And the people who wrong them too. They don’t forget. They tell each other who to look after and who to watch out for.”
