Conquering depression, alcoholism and suicidal tendencies contributed to the creation of a writer who did not listen to society but took her own path in poetry. Anne Sexton was more than a housewife, but a woman with real knowledge and a tormented mind that led her to express the unspeakable in poetry. He was the voice that fought so hard to be heard through his confessional poetic style.1. Anne Sexton's Personal Life Anne Gray Harvey Sexton was a famous poet and playwright of her time. She was born in Newton, Massachusetts. His father was Ralph Harvey, a successful wool manufacturer. His mother was Mary Gray Staples. She was an unwanted third child in the family. She grew up in a middle class environment. His life remained difficult due to the fact that his father was an alcoholic and his mother was frustrated with family life. Struggling with her difficult home environment, Anne found peace by forming a close relationship with her unmarried great-aunt, Anna Dingley, whom she called "Nana." Whatever Anne couldn't share with her parents, she discussed with Nana. Anne went through difficult situations because of her parents. She faced hostile behavior from them and feared they might abandon her. Later, Nana's death also caused great trauma for Anne (Sexton 3). Anne was not a very good student. She didn't like school at all. He could not concentrate on his studies and his disobedience towards his teachers led them to talk to his parents about seeking a counselor. But his parents did not follow the teacher's advice. Anne's parents sent her to a boarding school called Rogers Hall in Lowell, Massachusetts. At that time, he began writing poetry and acting. Her beauty has fascinated many men towards her. At the age of... middle of paper... to lend a hand to these people who suffer and suffer. All in all, Sexton was at heart a wonderful poet. His poetry has left a profound impact on me. It can never be easy to read and clearly understand a person whose writings primarily touch on the topics of mental illness and suicide. It is morally difficult for me to read poetry that is steeped in death and depression. Anne Sexton's creations were as controversial as night and day and I could clearly see it in every single line or verse. The absence of rhyme gives the impression of the free flow of independent thoughts. She was the author who wasn't ashamed to write about forbidden things; furthermore, his poetry makes every reader reflect and meditate. It's not the kind of poem you read for fun over a cup of coffee, it was written with the aim of bringing aesthetic satisfaction to the reader..
