Reader Reviews for The Complete Poems: Anne Sexton: Customer Rating: Summary: She speaks and gives me advice from the beyond... Comment: I'm Manic Depressive! I struggle with suicidal thoughts daily. Some people cycle I think I actuallly am manic AND depressed sometimes. Except unlike her Im both a failure and now more recently a coward. Thats why shes living good in the afterlife nd I'm stuck here annoying the rest of humanity. I read her works and its like an epiphany hits me everytime I open a page. And to have her complete works is like being in heaven with her reading too me, showing me her understanding where as everyone else thinks I'm a pariah. Customer Rating: Summary: Birthday Gift Comment: I got this book for a birthday gift for my daughter. She said anything by Anne Sexton. She really likes it. It came in a timely manner and in great condition. Price was good too. I would reccommend it to anyone. If you are an adult. Customer Rating: Summary: this is what art looks like Comment: An old friend gave me this book about 6 or 7 years ago and I immediately fell in love with it. Anne Sexton is absolutely my favorite poetess. Her writings are pure art. Customer Rating: Summary: Amazingly deep, personal, Anne Comment: Of course, no words can justify this book, you really have to read it for yourself. Sometimes I find myself sitting around for hours just going through it--it seriously feels like dreaming. A lot of times they're nightmares, but they're always passionate. The feelings expressed can be found in all of us in some form, but if you can relate to Anne's struggle on a personal level, they'll speak even louder to you. Customer Rating: Summary: She is so depressing Comment: I love Anne Sexton, but really, one can only take her a little at a time. Having read her bio and her daughters book, "To Mercy Street and Back" I had to have her complete works. Here is a woman who is stark raving mad, incests her daughter, and is still a great writer, but even my dark side says "too much". I can't read too much at a time. Still, i'm glad to have it in my library. It is amazint too me how much medication her doctors kept her on, on had an affair with her, one sold her tapes, supposedly confidential information. I feel a great deal of empathy and pity for this woman, oh she also had a husband who liked to use her as a punching bag and a mother in law that took over her household she lived with a bunch of enablers, without which she might never have become a writer, but maybe would have had a chance at life. A true American tragedy of a woman abused in every way, but still a genius.
