No Evil Star: Selected Essays, Interviews, and Prose by Anne Sexton
4.0
The interviews here offer insight's into Sexton's poetry and writing process. I loved the joke about how after her poetry class she'd park in the No Loading zone by the bar and say that it was ok because she was going to get loaded. In another interview with Maxine Kumin, she down played how much she drank on those outings.
I would have like for her to go more in depth in the interviews about whatever poem she just read. The best interviews were for college students. The ones at the ends kind of got repetitive. I've read her daughter's memoir - Mercy Street, and Kumin's intro to her collect works. This was a chance to hear her in her own terms.
