Long overshadowed by fellow confessional poets Sylvia Plath and
Robert Lowell, Anne Sexton seldom features in literary criticism,
despite being one of America's most influential women writers. Now
in this much-needed volume Sexton and her poetry are reassessed for
the first time in two decades. With new access to her archives, the
scholars and poets featured here consider Sexton's wide range of
literary production: how it shaped her creative process, informs
readings of her work, and reveals her efforts to build a successful
career without a university education. Notable in presenting Sexton
the educator and public figure, This Business of Words also
considers her relationships with peers and various media and
interprets her strategies for teaching, critiquing poems, and
delivering readings. As they revisit their initial encounters with
Sexton as readers, writers, and teachers, the contributors to this
volume map the influence of her craft on twenty-first-century
culture.
