She Unnames Them
I did not really understand the full meaning of this story. I did not understand who "she" was. I found it interesting though that the stereotypes of animals was talked about, something that is not often written about or discussed. I did not really care for this story simply becuase it confused me and was so different from what I am used to and enjoy reading.
Journey of the Magi
I always think it is interesting reading religious pieces or stories from different people, seeing their perspective and opinions on religion. I am not a very religious person, but I believe in God and am somewhat "spritual." This poem interested me, I liked the details and the vivid images that the author went into great detail explaining. I liked how the crosses are mentioned, the one cross for Jesus and the other for the two thieves.
A Cold Coming
I always enjoy reading poems about war, especially the Iraq war. There are so many different views and opinions that I enjoy reading and hearing what everyone thinks. This was from the eyes of a soldier, so everything was brutal. Knowing what happens on the inside is crucial, I feel to have a clear understanding of the war or any war for that matter. The jealousy of American soldiers is mentioned in this poem. This was a different type of poem, but had a lot of meaning and truth behind it.

I agree with you on the Journey of the Magi. It always seems like the point of view is in favor of the birth of Christ and the Magi are in the background. This is a whole new perspective and it's refreshing to think that they too were not saints.
I agree with your comment on A Cold Coming. It is very interesting to look at war through the eyes of the many soldiers.
