Anne Sexton
So clear, fierce and potent. There is something so resonant for me in her work - the search, the struggle the aching, the frustrated urgency. Her throaty, dramatic-yet-leaden readings are absolutely captivating - like Burroughs but beautiful, sad. Images bloom so fast they overlap. Ruthlessly good. "God", "With Mercy For the Greedy", "Her Kind", "The Fury of Overshoes", "Jesus Walking" .... my new heroine of letters. Be wary of web sites with woefully inaccurate transcriptions.... Books, always trust the books.
