Anne Sexton

by Anne Sexton

"An expression of an extraordinary poet's life story in her own words, this book shows Anne Sexton as she really was in private, as she wrote about herself to friends, fellow poets, and students. Illustrated throughout with candid photographs and memorabilia, the letters - brilliant, lyrical, caustic, passionate, angry - are a consistently revealing index to Sexton's quixotic and exuberant personality."--Jacket.
