Had to film a play adapted from these poems/monologues this year, so once the whole thing was over I decided to check out the whole collection. And, indeed, there are quite a few great ones that didn't make it into the play. Though it is hard to separate the experience of the play from these poems, it is harder still to deny that the words are beautiful even without seeing them brought to life by talented actors and actresses. (My favorite of the poems is quoted on here, if you look at my favorite quotations.)
