Why don't some authors write their names in poems? |
[Edit] |
Hmm... if you mean why do authors sometimes write anonymously, then I think that the answer is that they don't want to call attention to themselves. There could be several reasons... some people are natural introverts and would rather not be in the spotlight. Some write about things that might cause them problems if it were publicly known. Some people believe that the work should speak for itself, and that the author shouldn't matter... kind of a gift to the world sort of thing. In other cases, the poem might be "anonymous" just because someone copied it from someplace without copying the author's name.
