I'd love to know if any hints of Hughes's bisexuality made it into the letters Plath's mother destroyed.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Ple, I'm not turning up a reference to Hughes' sexuality online. Was it in his letters or a bio?

I just bought the new book by Audrey Niffenegger (author of Time Traveler's Wife). Definitely looking forward to reading it sometime before Halloween--fitting, since it is a ghost story.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Apparently there are a few Buffy references in Martin Millar's Suzy, Led Zeppelin, and Me. TCG is reading it right now, and he keeps mentioning them to me.
