Book Reviews of Anne Sexton: A Biography
Book Review: "distinction between creativity and self-destruction"
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an extraordinary individual who lived through her language that spoke of her creativity and powerful forces of mental agony. Surely her sufferings and dysfunctions created poetic dilemma that opened eyes to not only individual/relational pathologies, but also the social/cultural/intellectual binds of the women of her time. I am deeply touched by her life, passion and her unpretentiousness, and at the same time, feel great empathy for her family, particularly her daughters, for the price they paid for such complex environments.
