I really love Anne Sexton's poetry. In this video, I will be reading four of her poems: 'Admonitions to a Special Person', 'Her Kind', 'All My Pretty Ones', and 'For My Lover, Returning to His Wife'. Just a warning, Anne Sexton uses some profanity in her poetry, and she does not shy away from adult themes. I would classify this as a PG-13 video. Consider yourself warned. :)

  • I just recently got a book of hers. It's all of her books in 1. Thanks for reading her poetry. I plan on reading her poetry in the near future. I have so many books.

  • I'm not even kidding...This was incredibly relaxing and I did fall asleep to this.....But.......The actual content of the poetry gave me some really bad dreams now that I think about it. I had really scary dreams of a man drowning in a sewer and someone getting stuck in a machine and getting torn in two....I think my mind took the poetry a little bit too literally, lol. But now I know not to listen to anything too "terrible". Quite to the contrary though your voice is lovely and put me to sleep.

  • Wow, this video is a masterpiece of whispering!!!

  • You read this very well. Thank you for doing this.

  • @leftofzeroofficial LOL.....I'm a total hack at piano, but I thank you. I enjoy playing. I don't know if I will make another video like that, but I'll keep your request in mind. :)

  • @whisperinginblue And, I had never really payed much attention to Anne (apart from a few quotes), but now you have gotten me into her poetry - so thank you.

    I hope all is well wherever you are ;)

  • @whisperinginblue you are quite welcome. I just wanted to make it known the comment was meant respectfully. By the way, I LOVE your piano video, you have a seriously talented sheep ! Looking forward to more of those for sure !
