Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This selection, which is drawn from 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 poet.

Review:

'\"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 \"This selected edition of Sexton\'s poems, arranged chronologically and enhanced by an insightful introduction, will make her work accessible not only to students but to readers everywhere.\" — Maxine Kumin'

Review:

For several years this was my talisman - my everyday reliable - because not only is Sexton immaculate with her word choice but deeply moving. Read, especially, her "Rowing towards God", in which I believe she did her best work. It is so unfortunate that we have fallen away from the simplicity of poetry in favor of rambling fiction. Sexton will pull you back - will leaving you knowing her, and through her, yourself.
