Children: Near Death Experiences

In 1997, a poll by U.S. News & World Report revealed that in the United States, 15 million people had had a near death experience. That translates to one-third of those whom nearly die, or who are pronounced clinically dead but are later revived. Melvin Morse, in his book Closer to the Light, puts the figure of children having had a near death experience at 70%. That means, under the same circumstances, children are twice as likely as adults to experience a near-death episode.

Anne Sexton: Crucial Pieces

Poetry does not exist merely for the springtime, rainbows, or the birth of new life... all of that is poetry too and there must be roses amongst the thorns. Poetry exists and continues more so because of the sorrow, the madness, the despairing of the soul. This is what Anne Sexton made the literary and mainstream society of her day remember. And she would have them remember it today.
