Benza?)The poem by John Cooper Clarke that so moved Tim, “Evidently Chickentown,” may be heard here. Jen pointed out a mention of another poet, Anne Sexton, in the movie. Interestingly, while Sexton’s daughter reported credibly in her memoir Looking For Mercy Street and elsewhere that her mother sexually abused her, Sexton’s own memories of abuse have been called into question due to the methods her psychiatrist used to unearth them.However, Sexton’s history of dissociation, psychotic breaks, and eventual suicide seem to point to some kind of trauma.Finally, if you missed our Crash episode, listen to it here!  Have You Seen This?
