Synopsis

This selection, which is drawn from Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Anne Sexton's ten published volumes of poems as well as from representative early and last work, is an ideal introduction to a great American master. From the introduction by Diane Wood Middlebrook and Diana Hume George: "Ample but not overwhelming...Selected Poems represents the range and elegance of Anne Sexton's poetry from beginning to end." "The editors of this Selected Poems have carefully chipped away at the block of marble and revealed the true figure of Sexton's work: haunted, plaintive, raucous, as often exuberantly witty as it is afflicted." - J.D. McClatchy ANNE SEXTON (1928-1974) was an American poet known for her highly personal, confessional verse. A celebrated poet of mid- twentieth century America, Sexton's impressive body of work continues to be widely read and debated by literary scholars and cultural critics alike. Her poetry explored the many paradoxes within human behavior and motivation.
