The ground-breaking work of the poet who paved the way for
generations of women writers, in a new selection by her daugher and
literary executor, Linda Gray Sexton When Anne Sexton took her own
life in October 1974, she left behind a body of work which had
already, in less than two decades of writing, won her the Pulitzer
Prize for Poetry, established her as one of the foremost voices of
her generation, and shocked America by breaking multiple taboos of
subject matter, from insanity, depression and addiction to
menstruation, adultery and the figure of the witch. Sexton's name
is legendary. Her poetry is read around the world, translated into
over thirty languages, and in her own country remains a touchstone
for poets and readers looking for rawness of perception, vitality
of expression, confessional frankness and fiery passion. Yet,
incredibly, there has been no new UK edition of her work for
decades. In Mercies, readers are provided with a resonant new
selection from the writings of this natural phenomenon of a poet.
