Description

Anne Sexton's poetry has become synonymous with raw emotion and unflinching honesty. This new selection brings together some of her most powerful and resonant work, offering a glimpse into the life and mind of one of America's most iconic poets.

First published in the 1950s and 60s, Sexton's poetry shocked and inspired with its frank exploration of taboo subjects such as mental illness, relationships and identity. Her writing has been translated into over thirty languages and remains a touchstone for poets and readers around the world.

This new edition provides a timely opportunity to experience the full range of Sexton's remarkable talent, and to discover why she is still widely read and studied today.
