This poem caught my eye and ear -- lured me into its lurid teasing innuendos with red images of roosters becoming "cocks" of the penile persuasion; catchy driving rythm, action and words that stand in relief off of the page with their very musical juxtaposition. The rise and fall, hard to soft, and battle to peace images mirroring the sex act were particularly successful. I do not know her work but want to read more. I wonder if it is significant that it is written in the 70's -- the sexual, rousing slightly naughtiness. It works for me -- but its weak parts were shown very eloquently by Mr. Penkwitz who commented here (above) last month. Reading Mr. Penkwitz together with the poem again was quite illluminating. I want to read more of Anne Sexton's work. What does Mr. Pinkwitz recommend? What are some poems by other poets Mr. Pinkwitz finds meet his exacting aesthetics?
