I get obsessed with her. I think about the way she killed herself. What must have been going through her head. I think about the way she put her kids in the other room. And how she probably knew that darkness and nothingness was coming soon.
God damn, she was batshit, but brilliant and amazing as hell.
Anne Sexton is my favorite poet, and Wanting to Die is my favorite poem. Got her book of complete poems when I was a teenager. She’s brilliant. I love confessional poetry.
