Those who know me well are likely howling right now.
You are Sylvia Plath! She committed suicide by
shoving her head in a gas oven.
Congratulations! She was mentally troubled
throughout her life, and toyed with the idea of
suicide many times. She wrote brilliant and
insightful poetry, although it was all
autobiographical; poor sylvia had a hard time
getting outside herself, and her connections
with members of the opposite sex were troubled
at best. She has been picked up since her
death in the early sixties as a champion of the
feminist cause.

For those of you uninformed on this, I have a well known, longstanding and deep love/hate relationship with Plath — admire her talent as far as it goes, think her work is frequently less than it appears, and certainly feel that her work and life have inadvertently made it difficult for those of us who don’t write purely autobiographical/confessional poetry.
Not to mention that she and Sexton and Lowell have a share of the blame for enshrining mental illness and dysfunction as the source of poetic inspiration.
Come to think of it…it’s far more hate than love.
Come to think of it — we’re far more alike than I like to admit.
