sonny in particular-- tennessee williams is my favorite poet. thank you very very much for posting that poem, it is one i hadn't yet seen...please check out his poetry, i consider myself pretty well-versed in poetry, modern or otherwise, and his work ranks among the best of them. some compilations are _in the winter of cities_ and _androgyne, mon amour_ which are the most amazing things in the world. he is a decent playwright but a truly brilliant poet. like salinger, he has a way with dialogue [sp?] and language that is incredible...i can't say enough, go read 'androgyne mon amour' that was a pretty random outburst, bethany
