A fabulous poet, her use of language is commanding, Anne was a modern poet who did not use any of the clichés of pretentious Victorianism, her subjects are tough and emotional, she talks about the dark side because she lived in the dark side and you will never get a better depiction of depression then from this woman.
Anne Sexton is my absolute favorite poet. She wasn't ever afraid to tackle a subject and I admire that; it's a mystery what might have come from her had she not committed suicide. We lost some great work most likely due to that.

Excellent poet. One of my All-Time favorites.
I love her style. I recently made her one of my three favorite poets :)
She gets on my nerves too but I can't think of title 'The Awful Rowing Towards God' without smiling.
Sexton gets on my nerves. A lot. Some of her witticisms are hilarious, though.
