Tim, I thought she was older too. Maybe it's sour grapes on my part, assuming someone is older because they've had all that extra time and experience to become so versatile and accomplished, and if I were their age I'd be as good yada yada yada
Petra, there was another poem about her dog's death, for which Paul gave the link earlier:

It's one of those poems I can only read once because I know everytime I go back to it I'll cry.
Does anyone remember or have access to a poem she wrote about mermaids and drowned sailors? I don't recall the name, but it made a hugh splash on DE, and was utterly enchanting, almost Poe-like, in the beauty of its images and music.
It says so much about her, doesn't it, that after all these years, we remember so many of her poems so vividly?
