Newspeak(s)

It is difficult to get the news from poems yet men die miserably every day for lack of what is found there. --- William Carlos Williams

Poetess


The Bell Jar at 40
http://www.poetryfoundation.org/article/242402

Sylviah Plath sealed off the kitchen
Before turning on the gas oven

Virginia Woolf
Walked into the ocean,
Stones heavy in her pockets

Anne Sexton
Lowered garage door  
With the motor running.

No longer women
Struggling with words
