"It's hard to say 'liked' or 'really liked it' because Anne Sexton's life was so unutterably painful, but it is no doubt a very good insight into the woman herself. Not a happy read, but vital if you have a need to know about the mind behind the fantastic poetry that fell from her fingertips."
"Middlebrook provided much insight into the life of a woman plagued with mental disorders and an uncanny ability to write poetry about her life. She also provided insight about writing and reading poetry.
Sexton was a mad housewife and began writing to live. She did unforgivable things yet was a disciplined, intelligent, beautiful artist capable of as much love as she was destructive behaviors.
Anne Sexton is the poet of all poets. She paved the way for confessional poetry and is the reason I started reading poetry. I am grateful she believed the only way that an individual's pain gained meaning was through its communication to others.
(I finished this book a week ago and I am still processing the life of Anne Sexton.)"
"Not that I didn't know she had issues but as I have read bios of Plath and Sexton, both were incredibly driven and somewhat ego-centric...so I am wondering if it is necessary to have the egoism to be a great writer as well. Kind of disjointed writing towards the end, almost like the author had to end the book and just cut to the chase of Sexton's suicide."
