What Do Women Want?

October 08, 2017  /  Susannah Breslin

I first encountered this poem years ago, but thought of it when I saw a Twitter call for "your favorite poems written in the last ~50 years by anyone who isn't a white man." 

The poem is called "What Do Women Want?" and it's by Kim Addonizio.

I want a red dress.
I want it flimsy and cheap,
I want it too tight, I want to wear it
until someone tears it off me. 

You can read the rest here.
