Wow. To take something as small as an earthworm and contemplate it in the way that she does is quite simply poetry. Is it true or untrue that if you like a poem or a bulk of a poet's work that's not to say that you would or would have liked them as a person, right? I just recently heard that Sexton molested one of her children (correct me if I'm wrong). I got a little weirded out when I heard this b/c I didn't project that onto the poems I've read of hers. Sure, they're sensual but let's keep that within boundaries. Clearly she has a talent for creating dark and interesting images with so much depth. She makes me see and think. It's too bad she suffered the way that she did.
