## Description

From the Publisher

Review: Anne Sexton is just herself and out there. - How i love this book. The poet is tough and all her poems are testimony to that fact. Maybe she was the point of the spear demanding that women's be heard and then seemingly brushed aside as more gentile voices emerged.
Review: Great!! - She's a great poet. So many good poems!

Sexton has often been criticized for creating "workshop" poetry. We shouldn't think of this as a negative. A workshop merely opens the mind to writing methods that haven't dawned on some of us. Those who jot down magnificent poetry with no formal education are a special breed, indeed. Some writers need a teacher to open the window for them. And for the lot of us, we can't afford an Ivy League Education, as is the case with some of our greatest poetic minds. Sexton, who attended these workshops, is a classic example of someone who needed a little push. And once that window was opened for her, she stepped into that other-world and never looked back. "The Awful Rowing Toward God" is, in itself, a masterpiece. The poetry is quite dark and brooding, grim even. Though Sexton suffered much of her life due to mental problems, she was able to express her inner-turmoil on paper, and for that I am grateful. Her writing is provocative at times, and she really pushed the envelope for her day. Much of her work is simple, and relatively easy to analyze and comprehend. It is enjoyment, pure and simple, though some of it can dampen even the most optimistic person's mood. It is unfortunate that we lost her as early as we did. Bottom line: Excellent collection, though the binding and paper-type is subpar, so you shouldn't expect it to last for decades.
