Read Sylvia Plath for the first time -- fucking amazing. From The Zoo Keeper's Wife: [You wooed me with wolf-headed bats hanging from their scorched hooks in the moist Fug of the Small Mammal House. The armadillo dozed in his sandbin obscene and bald as a pig, the white mice mulitiplied to infinity like angels on a pinhead out of sheer boredom. Tangled in the sweat-wet sheets I remember the bloodied chicks and quartered rabbits.:]

Harsh, severe, and beatiful, Plath shines within the genre of poetry.
