i will send an awful rowing towards god to anyone who sends me their copy of ariel, just so you know how to do femminist confessional poetry.

the bell jar is one of my favorite books. i like her prose more than her poetry.

what i REALLY don't get is this whole "anne sexton is better than sylvia plath" thing. she seems a LOT whinier and more rambling and self-indulgent to me than plath ever did.

I don't know any Sylvia Plath. S/D, anybody?

one of the women, a poetry teacher, reminds me of ileanna douglas' character in ghost world,

"Mirror ... Father.
Mirror ... Father"
