Anne Sexton Quote

You must be a poet,
a lady of evil luck
desiring to be what you are not,
longing to be
what you can only visit.


The Awful Rowing Toward God (ed. 1975)


You must be a poet, a lady of evil luck desiring to be what you are not, longing to be what you can only visit.

You must be a poet, a lady of evil luck desiring to be what you are not, longing to be what you can only visit.

You must be a poet, a lady of evil luck desiring to be what you are not, longing to be what you can only visit.

You must be a poet, a lady of evil luck desiring to be what you are not, longing to be what you can only visit.
