It would have been better if he'd kept it general. It's great that he likes Plath, but as it stands it just sounds like he has an obsessive crush on a dead poet.

cool of you to honor Sylvia in song- well done

This song takes no stance on whether anne sexton was a better poet than sylvia! It's simply Ryan Adams being great as he always is. So why not just embrace that and enjoy the song... Bottom line is he liked sylvia plath's work and wrote a song about her nothing to get mad about at all! The song is amazing!!!

Unfortunately not. He has a fanbase here, but I think Americans (speaking as one) generally have to be told what to like (either by critics or the mainstream media). Ryan Adams isn't widely covered by the mainstream media, and isn't highly thought of by critics so he's kind of in limbo in that regard.

I would not Anne Sexton was not at ALL a better poet than Sylvia Plath. Although they parallel in the confessional poetry and feminist movement they are very different. Sylvia has an original voice that will always stand on its own and could never ever be compared to anyone else. She is a great pioneer in American literature.

He's got a beautiful voice and singing about sylvia plath makes me like him even more. Is he quite big in the US?

I don't understand this song at all or why he thought it was worthy to sing a paean to Plath but I suppose 'I gotta get me an Anne Sexton' doesn't have the same ring to it (although she was a much finer poet) |
