I can't choose a favorite color, but I wear a lot of navy, brown, and black. I would totally go on Date Lab for The Washington Post if I lived in DC. I've never cheated on a boyfriend. I love cooking, especially desserts. I am a dog person. I have lived in the south for all of my life in the US, but...
THE TRUTH THE DEAD KNOW Gone, I say and walk from church, refusing the stiff procession to the grave, letting the dead ride alone in the hearse. It is June. I am tired of being brave. We drive to the Cape. I cultivate myself where the sun gutters from the sky, where the sea swings in like an iron...
When the Glass of My Body Broke Oh, mother of sex, lady of the staggering cuddle, where do these hands come from? A man, a Moby Dick of a man, a swimmer going up and down in his brain, the gentleness of wine in his fingertips where do these hands come from? I was born a glass baby and nobody picked...
Her Kind I have gone out, a possessed witch, haunting the black air, braver at night; dreaming evil, I have done my hitch over the plain houses, light by light: lonely thing, twelve-fingered, out of mind. A woman like that is not a woman, quite. I have been her kind. I have found the warm caves in...
A few things that i like... To my Lover Returning to His Wife She is all there. She was melted carefully down for you and cast up from your childhood, cast up from your one hundred favorite aggies. She has always been there, my darling. She is, in fact, exquisite. Fireworks in the dull middle of...
Welcome Morning By Anne Sexton There is joy in all: in the hair I brush each morning, in the Cannon towel, newly washed, that I rub my body with each morning, in the chapel of eggs I cook each morning, in the outcry from the kettle that heats my coffee each morning, in the spoon and the chair that...
"Snow White, The dumb bunny/ opened the door/and she bit into a poisonous apple..." ~ Anne Sexton, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Transformations Let's talk about a woman who is not we, (and most certainly not me). She who says, "I do not generally allow others to treat me badly". We notice the...
Dear friends, I am leading a workshop on poems about paintings and would appreciate any suggestions of poems or paintings to present to the teens. I have a whole pack of poems, but most of them seem to be in a similiar vein, from May Swenson to Anne Sexton. I do have a Longfellow one to add to the...
from studying this morning. I spent the last hour wading through the 100+ blogs on my feeder. Though I didn't get very far...I managed to read about 30. Too many blogs...too little time when you're reading about the history of folktales and how to think the fun out of analyze children's literature...
My knickers are still in a knot thinking about breeches of privacy - A couple of days ago I was reading on the net about Anne Sexton ( a favorite dead poet). I had stumbled upon an article written about her whilst looking for a particular poem she wrote. I love Anne Sexton's work in all her glorious...
goods 'keep your fuck zipped up 'till I ask for it' -anne sexton potential Tay & I imitating the guests on Maury Povich My love for my sister and the fact that I ventured to the MALL - a place I cannot stand to go to - in order to get her a gift card to Motherhood. The mall is creepy and scares me....
I was reading Ted Hughes and was struck in the face by a memory of sitting in the back room of that bookstore I worked in so long ago. That back room that smelled like a little old lady's living room or den. Eating my chicken cup soup (this was before I was vegetarian) and reading Birthday Letters....
Aesop Rock's "No Regrets" is running through my head this morning. I love it. I also love.... and the ocean and Anne Sexton and gazeebos and Bikini Kill and night and adventures... -L
