Kathleen’s Reviews > Anne Sexton: A Biography > Status Update

This is a biography for poetry lovers. Middlebrook did done her homework well when writing this book; going over craft and line structure. Including the lives of other poets that Sexton tangled herself with at the time. I had no idea Sexton and Plath were so close. Nor that Adrienne Rich was also close contemporary at the time. Gosh, I would have loved to have been a guest at one of these poetry parties then.
