I wrote two poems like a lot of people did for Anne Sexton.
So I'll just read them.
The first one is called Lament for Anne Sexton.
The Sylvia mentioned in the poem is Sylvia Plath.
Anne of the 1,000 days and awful nights.
Anne rushes toward the arms of an early lover who
will return to his wife this time bringing Anne's
body, Anne's ultimate notebook.
Anne of the 1,000 days and awful nights.
Anne drives herself out of bedlam country
into only another kind of gender.
Anne, Anne, watercolor Anne washes off eyes and washes off
hands, whispers to her little sister Sylvia, Sylvia,
where is happiness?
