Uma rápida consulta na web parece defini-la como um desses poetas de um poema só. Não será tanto assim. KAYLIN HAUGHT, autora de God Says Yes To Me, é uma jovem poetisa americana que parece seguir a linha de uma Adrienne Rich. Neste poema em particular - o único que lhe conheço - surpreendeu-me muitíssimo a sua definição de Deus.
GOD SAYS YES TO ME
I asked God if it was okay to be melodramatic
and she said yes
I asked her if it was okay to be short
and she said it sure is
I asked her if I could wear nail polish
or not wear nail polish
and she said honey
she calls me that sometimes
she said you can do just exactly
what you want to
Thanks God I said
And is it even okay if I dont paragraph
my letters
Sweetcakes God said
who knows where she picked that up
what I’m telling you is
Yes Yes Yes
