Anne Sexton – A Self-Portrait in Letters
Only 1 left in stock
$8.00
An expression of an extraordinary poet’s life story in her own words, this book shows Anne Sexton as she really was in private, as she wrote about herself to family, friends, fellow poets, and students. Anne’s daughter Linda Gray Sexton and her close confidant Lois Ames have judiciously chosen from among thousands of letters and provided commentary where necessary. Illustrated throughout with candid photographs and memorabilia, the letters — brilliant, lyrical, caustic, passionate, angry — are a consistently revealing index to Anne Sexton’s quixotic and exuberant personality.
Book is in Very Good condition and shows light general wear. There may be slight shelfwear to edges and wraps, however binding will be fully intact and most wear will be superficial. *Image in the listing is stock. There may be variation in the actual product.
