A Pulitzer Prize-winning poet who confessed the unrelenting anguish
of addiction and depression, Anne Sexton (1928-1974) was also a
dedicated teacher. In this book, Paula M. Salvio opens up Sexton's
classroom, uncovering a teacher who willfully demonstrated that the
personal could also be plural. Salvio looks at how Sexton framed
and used the personal in teaching and learning, and considers the
extent to which our histories--both personal and social--exert
their influence on teaching. In doing so, she situates the teaching
life of Anne Sexton at the center of what feminist philosophers
consider to be key problems and questions in feminist pedagogy:
navigating the appropriate distance between teacher and student,
the relationship between writer and poetic subject, and the
relationship between emotional life and knowledge. Examining
Sexton's pedagogy, with its "weird abundance" of tactics and
strategies, Salvio argues that Sexton's use of the autobiographical
"I" is as much a literary identity as a literal identity, one that
can speak with great force to educators who recognize its vital
role in the humanities classroom.
