Prevision Aline KilmerI know you are too dear to stay; You are so exquisitely sweet: My lonely house will thrill some day To echoes of your eager feet.I hold your words within my heart, So few, so infinitely dear; Watching your fluttering hands I start At the corroding touch of fear.A faint, unearthly music rings From you to Heaven -- it is not far! A mist about your beauty clings Like a thin cloud before a star.My heart shall keep the child I knew, When you are really gone from me, And spend its life remembering you As shells remember the lost sea.
Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton, Flannery O'Connor, (wow! all these women are dead - what's up with that?)

The death of America's mind - Turn it Off! - Talk to someone who interests you - doesn't even have to be someone you like - just someone. Call a stranger on the phone - see if they want to chat.
Harry Crews - Did I mention Harry Crews? Also read The Pantyhose Man in some magazine - loved it. In fact I love most short stories that explore the dark side of human nature... Another good one: An Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge by Ambrose "Bitter" Bierce, and then there is Queen of the Mist, and as a rule any of Joan Murray's poetry --- Give Brian Shawver a try...
