DAMN, I COULD HAVE GOTTEN THIS FOR MY BIRTHDAY
Oh well day-late birthday present it is then! -- I just wish they offered an Anne Sexton shirt too -- Transformations maybe, those Barbara Swan lithographs are so beautiful. Anne is now so eclipsed by Sylvia -- that wouldn't have made her happy at all. But at least she got her (Crazy Lady Poet) Pulitzer while she was still alive.
(Or how about a Shirley Jackson mental health T-shirt -- white lettering on black? 'No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream.') (You KNOW there's a huge market of all the sad literary young girls out there....)
