Anne Sexton
“There is hope.
There is hope everywhere.
Today God gives milk
and I have the pail”
Anne Sexton, The Awful Rowing Toward God

Kristen Henderson
“I dream
for an absentee and oft maligned
device—the accident-maker,
the soul-taker, my camera;
its factory guaranteed
third eye, without which I am duly dim
and memory denied. No pictures
for my contrived Arbus to declare,
excepting some stitch of Sexton
manages these sentences
of despair.”
Kristen Henderson, Of My Maiden Smoking
