on The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes, on July 19, 2005I adore this piece...I had read it when I was in high school and was reminded of it again with Lorena's version of it in college. And there are many nights when I have a glass of wine by my hand, several candles glinting nearby, and this cd in the player...and everytime, those ole goosepimples just a'come a'poppin' on my skin...lol. Gorgeous can only begin to describe this haunting masterpiece...

on The Kiss by Julia Caroline (Ripley) Dorr, on June 2, 2005Very pretty indeed...almost had a Byronic quality to it, lol, the beat and rythme flowing as sweet and smooth as freshly uncorked champagne, and although I am not normally a fan of the rhymes, lol, I still greatly enjoyed this lovely and romantic morsel...truly a beautiful piece.

on So We'll Go No More A-Roving by Lord George Gordon Byron, on March 30, 2005This has got to be one of my favorite poems of all time, and definitely my fave of Byron's. For this was such a soft and utterly vulnerable piece from a man who most of his contemporaries considered to be conceived of Satan. In his life, Bryon was the devil-may-care rakehell whose excesses were legendary and whose debauchery still titillates historians. But in this exquisite piece, he shows himself to be what all men are...created from weary flesh and tired bones...and above all, merely human. And that even in the grips of the most powerful emotion, love, one still must pause for breath.

on The Addict by Anne Sexton, on February 19, 2005'Two white goodnights...' I have never in all my years of reading and studying poetry found a more ingenious way to describe pills. In this piece, Sexton shows just how brilliant she is, balancing insanity and a wry sense of humor like Chinese gymnists twirling delicate china plates on a thin stick. Her imagery is unsurprassed, exquisite in both meaning and expression, her delivery sublime and shining like a brand new razor just before it mates with scented flesh. In the end, although she remains numb, it is impossible for her readers to be so...
