/* Career */ Changed the word "poet" to "narrator" in discussion of "Traveling through the Dark."

I made a change in the language about the poem "Traveling through the Dark." It had said "the poet discovers that she was pregnant and the fawn inside is still alive." While Stafford said that the poem is largely autobiographical, it is standard in conversations about poetry to refer to the one who's voice is present in the poem as "speaker" or "narrator." I changed "poet" to "narrator" to make a clearer distinction between Stafford himself and the person who is telling the story in the poem. --Tpoling (talk) 04:35, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
