This poem is amazing, the emotions just jump right out at you and suck you
in. You can feel the desperation and the jealosy that Sylvia got out. It's
completely beautiful and unbelievable, Anne's style just captivates me in
the wonder and the beauty.

This is by far my favorite of Sexton's poems.
The imagery of death as "our boy" is haunting, riveting, and compelling.
It's immediacy and intimacy grab you by the throat and pull you down into
her despair, grief, envy and complete utter lack of suprise.
"What is your death
but an old belonging,
a mole that fell out
of one of your poems?"
Yet for me, the true coup de grace is the unwavering love for Sylvia Plath
that Sexton displays:
"O tiny mother,
you too!
O funny duchess!
O blonde thing!"
Both Love and grief and finality all collide into one cataclysmic and
powerful work of art.

Gosh...this is a great poem only written by one of my favorite poets, now,
about Sylvia Plath! Oh my! I love Anne Saxton and to hear that she too
loved Sylvia Plath how awesome, I love her now! The poem was good and I
enjoyed reading it as well.
