"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

sylvia plath is AMAZING! some of her stuff is a little dark...well...most of her stuff is a very dark...but she really knows how to write!
e e cummings is also a good choice, though some people get weirded out by his style formating...
good luck with your project!!
One day we'll meet again, On this rocky road of life. But for now just leave me here. I promise I won't shed a tear.

Posted: 2/8/05 at 9:59pmT.S. Eliot is my absolute FAVORITE poet. "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" is AMAZING. Longish, but I find it works well for reading out loud.
