@Poemsapennyeach Somewhat failed? You are somewhat obtuse.

Great visuals enhance a beautiful reading!

I'll send you some photos of the Charles River, Beacon Hill and the back Bay later.

@alleiaegeria Thanks D. The Charles River !...I felt I got to know it whilst unravelling the meaning of this poem for myself....This footage is from Limerick.

Just back from Boston, it calls up memories of my walks through the city. Powerful and eerie poem. It is as deep as the Charles River and as unpredictable. You feel her torment. Very well rendered.

I love this poem. And the reader has a perfectly haunting voice for it.

Wasn't Anne Sexton molested by her mother?

@Cossetteliar3876 Not that I now know of. But...would it matter ? A.S's daughter..a somewhat failed poet ...wrote her own tortured story about her tortured mother...but I personally am interested in Anne Sexton's powerful verse.

Many thanks, I will look into Emily Dickenson. She's another one that Morrissey has mentioned frequently and seems to admire.
