In the analysis of the poem, This is a poem from the collection ''Animals in that country'' Here Atwood follows a total uneven verse form, but she maintains the same precision of words where many phrases are particularly incisive.
The landlady is never named but remains a ''raw voice'' ( which means raucous, unmusical and harsh tones with a note of command) and is referred to as ''she''.
She is obviously a great factor of annoyance in the loges life, an impediment to her thoughts so that scholarly work in his house is certainly difficult.
More-ever the tenant claim ''i rent my time'' but '' nothing is mine'' the play with language is very evident with bossy woman's action of slamming about the house and suffering tenant's to 'rent' time for writing.
Describing the bossy nature of the landlady, the poet says that the landlady is everywhere and even impedes all that i do- ''she precedes over my meager eating/ generates/ the lights for eyestrain.''  ''I rent mu time '' 
The poet means that she replaces her room , with the time she needs to devote to her work.
