    Extractions: Anne Sexton reads her own poetry "Her Kind," "The Ambition Bird," "Ringing the Bells," "Music Swims Back to Me," and "The Truth the Dead Know." Sexton was born in Newton, Massachusetts, in 1928. She began writing poetry on the advice of her therapist in 1957, and won the Pulitzer Prize for her book of poems, "Live or Die." Haunted by mental illness and personal torment, Sexton's poems speak openly of a dark and unhappy world. "With Mercy for the Greedy," "The Starry Night," "Letter Written on a Ferry While Crossing Long Island Sound," and "Self in 1958," read by poet Anne Sexton. Sexton spent much of her life battling mental illness, and much of her poetry refers openly to her experiences in psychiatric hospitals. Her intricate play of rhyming sounds and repetitive rhythms forms a structure for work that focuses primarily on deep introspection and unhappiness. Part 2 .au format (5 Mb), .gsm format (1 Mb)

    Extractions: Anne Sexton's Life Linda Wagner-Martin Sexton, Anne Gray Harvey (9 Nov. 1928-4 Oct. 1974), poet and playwright, was born in Newton, Massachusetts, the daughter of Ralph Harvey, a successful woolen manufacturer, and Mary Gray Staples. Anne was raised in comfortable middle-class circumstances in Weston, Massachusetts, and at the summer compound on Squirrel Island in Maine, but she was never at ease with the life prescribed for her. Her father was an alcoholic, and her mother's literary aspirations had been frustrated by family life. Anne took refuge from her dysfunctional family in her close relationship with "Nana" (Anna Dingley), her maiden great-aunt who lived with the family during Anne's adolescence. Sexton's biographer, Diane Middlebrook, recounts possible sexual abuse by Anne's parents during her childhood; at the very least, Anne felt that her parents were hostile to her and feared that they might abandon her. Her aunt's later breakdown and hospitalization also traumatized her. Anne disliked school. Her inability to concentrate and occasional disobedience prompted teachers to urge her parents to seek counseling for heradvice her parents did not take. In 1945 they sent her to Rogers Hall, a boarding school in Lowell, Massachusetts, where she began to write poetry and to act. After graduation she briefly attended what she called a "finishing" school. Anne's beauty and sense of daring attracted many men, and at nineteen she eloped with Alfred "Kayo" Sexton II, even though she was engaged to someone else at the time. Then followed years of living as college student newlyweds, sometimes with their parents. Later, during Kayo's service in Korea, Anne became a fashion model. Her infidelities during her husband's absence led to her entering therapy. In 1953 Anne gave birth to a daughter, and Kayo took a job as a traveling salesman in Anne's father's business.

    Extractions: Today is May 28th, 2004 - the site contains 32 poets and 4491 poems. Biography of Anne Sexton Anne Gray Harvey was born in Newton, Massachusetts, in 1928. She attended Garland Junior College for one year and married Alfred Muller Sexton II at age nineteen. She enrolled in a modeling course at the Hart Agency and lived in San Francisco and Baltimore. In 1953 she gave birth to a daughter. In 1954 she was diagnosed with postpartum depression, suffered her first mental breakdown, and was admitted to Westwood Lodge, a neuropsychiatric hospital she would repeatedly return to for help. In 1955, following the birth of her second daughter, Sexton suffered another breakdown and was hospitalized again; her children were sent to live with her husband's parents. That same year, on her birthday, she attempted suicide. She was encouraged by her doctor to pursue an interest in writing poetry she had developed in high school, and in the fall of 1957 she enrolled in a poetry workshop at the Boston Center for Adult Education. In her introduction to Anne Sexton's Complete Poems, the poet Maxine Kumin, who was enrolled with Sexton in the 1957 workshop and became her close friend, describes her belief that it was the writing of poetry that gave Sexton something to work towards and develop and thus enabled her to endure life for as long as she did. In 1974 at the age of 46, despite a successful writing careershe won the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1967 for Live or Dieshe lost her battle with mental illness and committed suicide.

    Extractions: A child of the same generation as Sylvia Plath, Ingeborg Bachmann, Marlen Haushofer and Caroline Muhr, Anne Sexton wrote confessional poetry of an entirely new honesty and precision, exploring intimate themes of family, love, loss, guilt, death and madness, which she hoped would have the "authentic stamp" to serve, as she quoted Kafka," as the axe for the frozen sea within us." Sexton was quickly recognized as an original, important poet, and was soon teaching her craft (Harvard and elsewhere) and reading widely in the US and England. Her second volume, All My Pretty Ones (1962), deals with loss, particularly the deaths of her parents, and was nominated for a National Book Award. In her Pulitzer Prize-winning

36. A Certain Sense Of Order: Confessionalism And Anne Sexton's Poetry
    Essay by R.J. McCaffery, which deals with issues of selfrepresentation in sexton's poetry.

    Extractions: A Certain Sense of Order: Confessionalism and Anne Sexton's Poetry W hile researching Anne Sexton's poetry, I noticed a curious trend in the critical essays, reviews and papers I read; it seemed that most, if not all, of the responses to her poetry fell into the old trap of equating the personas of the poem with the poet. While this is not a new critical foible, the scope and depth of the errors in the context of Poetic Confessionalism intrigued me. So, via the assistance of some musings on the Confessional process by Michel Foucault in his work, The History of Sexuality , I hope to illustrate how readers, reviewers, critics and interpretive essayists utilized the underlying framework or structure of the poems (in the context of "a confession") to incorporate Sexton's poetry into their own ideologies however, in an odd sense these critics were as much taken advantage of by the poems as they attempted to take advantage of the poems for many of Sexton's poems are constructed to suggest the ritual of confession as a way to actively shape critical response to her work. To begin we should place the Confessional style within the critical framework of its day. One useful aid is Caroline Hall's research in her book Anne Sexton; Hall traces the contemporary usage of the term "Confessional" in literary criticism. She views the movement as a "reaction against the Eliotic school of extinction of personality" and agrees with M.L. Rosenthal's assessment that:
