Selected Poems of Anne Sexton by Anne Sexton

5.0

After gobbling up everything there was to do with Sylvia Plath during my college years, I found myself searching for other writers who she knew or who inspired her own writing, such as Dylan Thomas (whom she very much admired) and, of course, Anne Sexton. Her poetry hits a tender, sore part of your soul, striking tirelessly, and this collection published by Virago will always be important to me as I can remember vividly carrying this book home with me on the bus, dunking in and out of the poems, feeling its effects and listening intently to her voice. Sexton is one of, if not, my favourite poet.
