to have been written by a Portuguese guy living in Toronto, or if Anne Sexton were actually a mild-mannered soccer mom, it would disrupt our entire sense of their poetry. At the same time, though, it would be wrong to say that Heaney's or Sexton's appeal depends completely upon autobiographical data. Exactly why we take personal poems so, well, personally remains a mystery and a muddle. from David Orr: The New York Times: Soldier Boy
