Calling Peter Gabriel Fans a Trivial question.
Gabriel preformed a song about a female poet. The song used water as a theme (as did the Poet's writing I believe).

Who was the Poet and what was the song?

(It was a breath of fresh air before I got involved with Dean last summer-- all the liberals came out of the woodwork; I felt relaxed for the first time in 2 years! Pete was ragging on Bush. It was great.)
