All My Pretty Ones

Mar 1, 2010 | This Life | 3 comments

I’ve been reading the biography of Anne Sexton this week. And after a little online research, bumped into this recording that I can’t stop playing. Anne’s All My Pretty Ones is blended beautifully with Peter Gabriel’s Mercy Street, which was inspired by Anne. It’s worth a listen to if you’re a fan of either poet.

    I’m a fan of Peter Gabriel, but I’m ashamed to say that I’ve never heard of Anne Sexton.

    I love that song. Had no idea it was inspired by her.
