The first line written is aware of discourse, relationship and communication situated in cultural context of the author. To ignore intertextuality, is to wrongly perceive of the author as originator, and to prove ignorance that the act of writing is anchored in the act of reading. A writing subject who is not a reading subject is a self exiled from the myriad discourses on authorship. To think oneself the creator is to fall into the God-author delusion of subjectivity believing one is imprisoned by one’s own shadow.

The verisimilitude novel as a mirror, a reproduction of desire represented as the Lacanian Real that repairs and restores lost identity through an authorial “I” masterfully plotted from beginning, middle, and an end resolution reflects cultural values of justice to reward and punish. The lyric “I” invites polyphony, fragments language, subverts verisimilitude. It challenges the subjective concept of the author and the conceit of originality and mastery written into the poststructuralist discourse as the “disappearing writing subject.”

The lyric “I” opens a space for the adventurous reader to interact with the text. Authorial subjectivity removed the page opened. The writer is the reader of her own writing able to discover the voices situated in her work.
