Captivating. Moving. Found out about her work through the Peter Gabriel song 'Mercy Street.' We are all looking for the place. We all know what it looks like. Will any of us ever find it, though?
Brought tears to my eyes...

I cannot fathom that no one has read or commented on Anne Sexton's works.
She was a giantess of poetic talent of confessional poetry.
It seems that many of confessional poets suffer severely with depression and
usually or already have commited suicide or is sure to take one's own life.
Fish in a pocketbook is very imaginative and even more so to take them out and throw them at her street sign which probably symbolizes her life and depressed
wish to end her life as living on this earth. Great poem-i give it a ten.
God bless all poets-MJG.
