I have never been seen like I felt Atwood saw me while writing "The Tin Woodwan Gets a Massage."

When I read "Late Poems," I was intrigued by some of the details Atwood used to describe how the poems in this book are "late." Specifically, she says the poems in this book are late "like a letter sent by a sailor," but then adds that the letter "arrives after he's drowned (Atwood 1). This made me think about how poems aren't USEFUL but they are MEANINGFUL--just like a letter from a deceased loved one.
