Amarant
Reading Group
Dive into the life and work of the American poet Anne Sexton (1928–1974). Sexton is known for her raw, “confessional” poetry, in which she broke taboos surrounding femininity, sexuality, and psychological suffering. Sexton began writing at the urging of her psychiatrist and went on to develop a unique, boundary‑pushing style. She wove her poems around her own life experiences, while also drawing inspiration from fairy tales and religious themes.
During this reading group, we will explore her turbulent life and discuss sixteen of her most impressive poems.
Panel Discussion
We will soon announce the speakers who will shed light on the life and work of Anne Sexton.
