Also I've been known to do Millay, though best after a drink. I do a Yeats drag–practiced it quite a bit in Ireland this winter. Also I’ve been known to do Millay, though best after a drink.

Hell, I'd dress up as H.D. Also, when I was in college some dude dressed up as Sylvia Plath. But it was bad drag, you know, frat boy in apron with a wooden spoon and "Stasis in darkness" pinned to his chest. I will if she won’t. Hell, I’d dress up as H.D.

And Plath and Emily Dickinson. I think you could do Dante. And you know the poets don't have to be dead. If you open to the living there's lots of costumery - fright wigs are easy. Suits and scarves are more fun. Moderate dresses? Oh I think you could do Auden drag or O’Hara drag, and certainly Yeats. And Plath and Emily Dickinson. I think you could do Dante.

Graham was so theatrical, so was Andy Warhol and Louise Nevelson. Any poets with fright wigs like Warhol's or mink eyelashes like Nevelson's? No, but how about Anne Sexton? I remember a portrait of her in a ball gown. In order to put on the drag of a dead poet you need a dead poet who in life already seemed to putting on drag.
