> You know her poem "Insomniac?" Absolute best description of insomnia I've ever read:
it's a 1961 poem, I haven't read it yet, I suppose it was probably included in Crossing the Water, but I'm not sure since I don't own that volume...
One I liked was "Amnesiac", which was included by Plath in her Ariel manuscript, but discluded by Hughes... it's last lines are
O sister, mother, wife,
Sweet Lethe is my life.
I am never, never, never coming home!
...exactly how i feel.
Theodore Roethke? haven't read much of him either, will have to look into it...
