The Complete Poems: Anne Sexton comprises the poet's ten volumes of verse, including the Pulitzer Prize-winner Live or Die, as well as seven poems from her last years.
From the joy and anguish of her own experience, Sexton fashioned poems that told truths about the inner lives of men and women.
"Women poets in particular owe a debt to Anne Sexton, who broke new ground, shattered taboos, and endured a barrage of attacks along the way because of the flamboyance of her subject matter...Sexton has earned her place in the canon."--from the Foreword by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Maxine Kumin

Who was your "gateway poet," the poet whose first book or poem made you want to write?
My middle school English teacher recommended Anne Sexton after reading some of my poems I had stuffed into the back of my homework notebook. My parents took me to Barnes & Noble and bought me The Complete Poems: Anne Sexton. I remember leaving the store with the tome tucked in my arms; it was huge compared to most books on my shelves or that I checked out from the library. I dogeared and underlined the crap out of it those first few years. I continued to pick my way through The Collected Poems in high school, marking up the pages with notes and hearts. I still have the same copy from my young life, and though some of the marginalia is absolutely cringe, I love flipping through it and encountering my old selves there, even as a new version of me finds more to admire in the poems.
