  1. This is wonderful. I love her poems and often wonder how someone so disturbed that she saw wriggling patterns in the wall paper could write such great verse. I love the letter where she describes (humorously) her fears and how she deals with them (“befriend Roman Catholics who will pray for you in case it turns out to be true”), and I’ve made that into a performance piece with text and movement.

  2. In the above comment WordPress mistakenly identified me as the Writers Workspace, an organization to which I belong.
