A lifetime of expression - and it shows, says the bloke who has only consciously done so intermittently; ergo I'm no judge. I found these works considered and well executed. For a picky bitch who has trouble with morbid themes, I have somehow come to see what they express - perhaps I was lucky running into Plath again and finding she wrote poetry. She has broadened my horizon - a place where we think we have things organised, yet it is riddled with strife and contradiction.
Drowning for example, where an abrupt turn from the prettiness of the shore burdens us with sorrow. And a fear I'm sure that has visited many of us, if only in our parent's warnings. It has all the ache of some old folk song about the lost kind (a race whom I'm sure I'm not alone exploring).
Depression - CBT - I'm nursing an article I think, rather than verse - on how people find it never completely gone. It's how one deals with the devil that matters in the end, but I believe everyone, considering themselves OK or not, should try CBT (and I don't mean motorcycle basic training:). There's a Chinese proverb I've quoted elsewhere: 'It is better to light a candle, than to crash around cursing the dark'.
I also like Tramp - another of life's amazing people whom I would chat to as a kid. Much food for thought...
