Jan 31, 2007 - Unfortunately we might not have any film of Sylvia, but we do have the next best thing...rare footage of Sylvia and Ted's daughter Frieda. I've just posted a video of her accepting an award on behalf of Ted Hughes. The physical likeness and the similarity in the voice are remarkable...

Apr 15, 2007 - Second time in a week YouTube has shown me something I had hardly expected to see. Sexton is among my most beloved poets, and it was fascinating to see her read her own work. She has such an expressive face, and those eyes are both chilling and heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing this.

Apr 28, 2007 - i discovered her this afternoon. i opened a pg and the poem hit me like a bullet. she was saying all that i was feeling in 13 stanzes. 3 months of an emotional rolercoster in one poem. AMAZING!

Jun 19, 2007 - i just love her words so dark , an open wound yet full of poetic beauty
PlaidBoy Says:
Jun 20, 2007 - I love Sexton. Was Lara Flynn Boyle's character in Happiness a parody of her? I just thought of that when I saw that picture of her as a model.

Jun 24, 2007 - This is so good. You tube is increible, lo que viene a traer. Vi a Kerouac, a Paramahasa Yogananda, a Alan Watts, escuche a PLath. You tube hizo que aquellos escritos que lei por año tuviran cara y voz. Gracias queda corto pero la vida es corta y vale la pena. A you tube y a mishima 1970, grazie.

Jun 26, 2007 - The Mold that gave us Bob Dylan, Lenny Bruce, Hendrix, Bergman, Rimbaud, Morrison (Jim), and all the other monumentals who've given me my courage to create myself. PBS has been bogarting this one forever! Danke!!!!

Jul 13, 2007 - I thought her biography by Diane Middlebrook was excellent.
