Anne Sexton (1928-1974) Navigation Biography of Anne Sexton Poems by Anne Sexton 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.

Excerpt Audio Controversy A nne Sexton began writing poetry at the age of twenty-nine to keep from killing herself. She held on to language for dear life and somehowin spite of alcoholism and the mental illness that ultimately led her to suicidemanaged to create a body of work that won a Pulitzer Prize and that still sings to thousands of readers. This exemplary biography, which was a finalist for the National Book Award, provoked controversy for its revelations of infidelity and incest and its use of tapes from Sexton's psychotherapy sessions. It reconciles the many Anne Sextons: the 1950s housewife and mother; the seductress; the suicide who carried "kill-me pills" in her handbag the way other women carry lipstick; and the poet who made lasting art.

Inhalt vor Anne Sexton Zur Feier meines Uterus Jeder einzelne in mir ist ein Vogel. Sie wollten dich herausschneiden, doch sie tun’s nicht. doch du bist’s nicht. doch sie haben sich geirrt. Du bist nicht zerrissen. zur Feier der Frau die ich bin und der Seele der Frau die ich bin Hallo, Lebensgeister. Hallo, Kelch. Ein Hallo an die Erde der Felder. Willkommen Wurzeln. Jede Zelle hat ein Leben. Es ist genug da, um eine Nation zufriedenzustellen. Viele Frauen singen gemeinsam davon: eine ist in einer Schuhfabrik, verflucht die Maschine, eine ist im Aquarium, versorgt einen Seehund, eine sitzt lustlos am Steuer ihres Fords, eine kassiert an der Mautschranke, eine bindet in Arizona die Nabelschnur eines Kalbs ab, eine streckt sich in Thailand auf ihrer Matte aus, eine wischt ihrem Kind den Hintern ab, eine starrt mitten in Wyoming aus einem Zugfenster und eine ist scheinen zu singen, obwohl manche keinen zur Feier der Frau die ich bin (falls das mein Part ist).

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.

That's how Christopher Marlowe described poetry in his Prologue to Tamburlaine. "Poetry is the opening and closing of a door, leaving those who look through to guess about what is seen during a moment." (Carl Sandburg) "Poetry is a comforting piece of fiction set to more or less lascivious music." (H.L. Mencken) When Webster's defines poetry it speaks in terms of rhythm, feelings, spirit. Like music, a good poem makes us think or feel something, sends out wispy reminders of something we've known or maybe just imagined.

"Neither, in your life, can you afford to concentrate all the attention on a girl/poet named Anne Sexton." [Letter to Philip Legler from Anne Sexton, May 4, 1966] By Sharon M. McCartan " Drowning [is] not so pitiful as the attempt to rise ." This proclamation was posted in a correspondence to Felicia Geffen [The American Academy of Arts and Letters] from the poet Anne Sexton in November 1963. Although offered in reference to a particular situation in her life, I celebrate this phrase as the embodiment of Sexton's struggle with the nuances of balancing the "betweens": between "living" and "dying," between "the absurd" and "the ordinary," between "sane" and "insane," between literary "popularity" and "importance." I think it is partly a fascination into the depths of her creative madness that lures me to Anne Sexton's superbly haunting poetry. As if a siren singing on great, jagged rocks, Sexton seduces the reader using the guise of orderly chaosillustrating the paradox within all things. Her words speak of ordinary things, of the conflicts between the simplistic and the complicated . . . all viewed from the seat of a disconcerting "
