yes. she was/is my wife's favorite poet and one of the very few poets who was able to attract a large and loyal following in an age where perhaps one American in a hundred can name ANY poet who isn't dead already. her poetry ain't bad, neither.

" 'He's a big boy, and very aggressive,' says Chris, lifting his shirt to show off some war wounds.
" 'That's Roger,' he says pointing at one scar. 'That's Roger too. There are another six stitches on my groin. They're Roger.'
'Basically he's just a fighter,' says Chris. 'It's natural for an alpha male. He likes to see the threat go, so will always come out to confront you. If he grabs you, he doesn't let go. You can't get out easily. It's a chokehold. As for a well-placed kick, it can disembowel you.' "

These seems to be the only mention in the Desert Sun article on Kaye Ballard about the 'complex personal life' in the title?
Ballard never married or had children. She wrote in her memoir, “I found an emotional connection with women like Liz (Smith, the admittedly bisexual syndicated columnist who was Ballard’s road manager in the 1950s) that I could never find with a man. I don’t know why or how it happened, but I do know it has kept me single my entire life.”
(also holy fuck at 'admittedly' in 2019)
