A Brief Biography of the Life of Anne Sexton In 1954, Anne began struggling with recurring depression and began seeking counseling. During the time of her counseling she and Kayo gave birth to their second child, Joyce Ladd Sexton, whom they nicknamed Joy. Beginning in 1956, Annes mental condition worstened, leading up to her first psychiatric hospitalization and her first suicide attempt. In December of that year, under the guidance of her psychiatrist, Dr. Martin, she resumed writing poetry. Finding therapeutic value in her writing, she enrolled in John Holme's poetry workshop, where she met Maxine Kumin. Yet falling, once again into a deep depression, Anne attempted suicide again in May, 1957.

Anne Sexton (1928-1974) Contributing Editor: Diana Hume George Classroom Issues and Strategies Anne Sexton's poetry teaches superbly. It is accessible, challenging, richly textured, and culturally resonant. Her work is equally appropriate for use in American literature, women's studies, and poetry courses. The selections in this text represent many of the diverse subjects and directions of her work. Three problems tend to recur in teaching Sexton; all are interrelated. First, the "confessional school" context is troublesome because that subgenre in American poetry is both misnamed and easily misunderstood; Sexton has been the subject of inordinately negative commentary as the first prominent woman poet writing in this mode. Second, contemporary readers, despite the feminist movement, often have difficulty dealing with Sexton's explicitly bodily and female subject matter and imagery. Finally, readers often find her poetry depressing, especially the poems that deal with suicide, death, and mental illness. If the course emphasizes historical context, a sympathetic and knowledgeable explanation of resistance to the confessional mode is helpful. (Ironically, if historical context is not important to presentation of the material, I suggest not mentioning it at all.) Academic and public reactions to the women's movement, even though Sexton did not deliberately style herself as a feminist poet, will help to make students understand the depth and extent of her cultural and poetic transgressions. The third problem is most troubling for teaching Sexton; teachers might emphasize the necessity for literature to confront and deal with controversial and uncomfortable themes such as suicide, mortality, madness. A discussion of the dangers of equating creativity and emotional illness might be helpful, even necessary, for some students. It's also important to demonstrate that Sexton wrote many poems of celebration, as well as of mourning.

Ranpunzel, by Anne Sexton Sexton, Anne. Transformations. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Co. A woman who loves a woman is forever young. The mentor and the student feed off each other. Many a girl had an old aunt who locked her in the study to keep the boys away. They would play rummy or lcoach and touch and touch. Old breast against young breast... Let your dress fall down your shoulder, come touch a copy of you for I am at the mercy of rain, for I have left the three Christs of Ypsilanti, for I have left the long naps of Ann Arbor and the churchspires have turned to stumps, The sea bang into my cloisterthe young politicians are dying, are dying so hold me, my young dear, hold me... The yellow rose will turn to cinder and New York City will fall in before we are done so hold me, my young dear, hold me. Put your pale arms around my neck. Let me hold your heart like a flower lest it bloom and collapse. Give me your skin as sheer as a cobwb, let me open it up and listennd scoop out he dark. Give me your nether lips all puffy with their art and I will give you angel fire in return.

Sexton, Anne American poet, known for her frank treatment of intimate and taboo subjects. Born in Newton, Massachusetts, Sexton attended Garland Junior College in Boston, Massachusetts, from 1947 until 1948, when she married. In 1955 she suffered a suicidal breakdown after the birth of her second child. During the course of psychiatric treatment, Sexton wrote poetry, an effort she had tried in school. In 1957 she joined a poetry workshop in Boston, which brought her into contact with American poets Robert Lowell and Sylvia Plath, both of whom became influences. Sexton's poetry soon developed a confessional style, in which she used images of incest, adultery, and madness to reveal the depths of her deeply troubled life.

Cover the top part of the picture; look at the legs tortuously twisted together. It is well known that she made a number of attempts to kill herself. Now cover the bottom half of the photograph, and look at the arms and radiant face. She told me she always felt joyous when she was rescued from those attempts. There was of course no final rescue, but I am not convinced that she "really" meant this suicide attempt, that she would not have welcomed another rescue.

Dan Mess EDP 380 Lawrence Sherman Anne Sexton : Life into Art A story, a story! (Let it go. Let it come.) I was stamped out like a Plymouth fender into this world. First came the crib with its glacial bars. Then dolls and the devotion to their plastic mouths. Then there was school, the little straight rows of chairs, blotting my name over and over, but undersea all the time, a stranger whose elbows wouldn't work. Then there was life with its cruel houses and people who seldom touched - though touch is all- but I grew, like a pig in a trenchcoat I grew, and then there were many strange apparitions, the nagging rain, the sun turning into poison and all of that, saws working through my heart, but I grew, I grew, and God was there like an island I had not rowed to, still ignorant of Him, my arms and my legs worked, and I grew, I grew, I wore rubies and bought tomatoes and now, in my middle age, about nineteen in the head I'd say, I am rowing, I am rowing though the oarlocks stick and are rusty and the sea blinks and rolls like a worried eyeball

80. Sarah Evans:  Anne Sexton And The Confessional Poetry Movement “An Axe for the Frozen Sea Within Us” anne sexton and the ConfessionalPoetry Movement. Sarah sexton, anne. The Complete Poems. Boston http://www.hsu.edu/faculty/afo/2000-01/evans.htm

“An Axe for the Frozen Sea Within Us”: Anne Sexton and the Confessional Poetry Movement Sarah L. Evans, Honors College Mentor: Marck Beggs, Ph.D. For centuries, poetry has been a vehicle for universal, objective statements on humanity, avoiding the personality and emotions of the author. In the late 1950s, however, Anne Sexton and others broke taboos and changed attitudes toward poetry when they wrote subjectively about their own lives, expressing true emotion about untouched subject matters, including madness, adultery, and suicide. S ince ancient times, poetry has been a vehicle to define society and culture, to comment on the condition of humanity, and to tell our universal stories. In the last half of the twentieth century, however, even as people seemed to gain a heightened concern for public issues like the Vietnam War and the American Civil Rights Movement, a new class of poets emerged whose writings were turned entirely inward, focusing on the life, struggles, and emotions of the poet and no one else. Anne Sexton, a leader in this movement of “confessional poetry,” stepped away from the traditional impersonality and universality of poetry to look deep into herself and expose all of the beauty, ugliness, and uncensored humanness within her, and with others like her, she influenced a change in the course of poetry.
