"But suicides have a special language, like carpenters-they want to know which tools-they never ask, 'why build?'"

Brilliance.

[Noodlehorn]

Ever since I discovered this poem, it's always been my favourite line too.

[okremington]

that last line gives me goosebumps.

[Sandra Muns]

For anyone who has ever been diagnosed with severe depression, this is the truest, most accurate, most faithful of poems.

[RaymondArcangel]

Definitely. The whole thing's great, but that's the kicker.

[Kyle Landon]

Wow.. speechless..

[tattoofthesun]

she's so beautiful in her inflections

[Writerphotog]

She was gorgeous, talented. Too bad the suicide obsession took her as well. Brutal stuff right here.

[Ruby Rodd]

yep, all i heard was blah blah blah. that poem is way too long for my taste. oh well.

[teargarden]

"and a love, whatever it was, an infection."

[NarwhalsArePimps]

Literally not trying to spam when I say that this is literally the best torrent ever. 4 hours of Sexton, Plath, Rich and Ginsberg. Glorious. <3
