Anne Sexton convirtió su vida en materia poética. Fue pionera en la lírica confesional y abrió así el camino para otras escritoras que admiraban su exposición cruda de la intimidad y un tratamiento de temas considerados tabú, para la escritura en general y para una mujer en particular. La sinceridad vital que caracteriza su obra pone al descubierto pasión y dolor. «Poemas y solo poemas me han salvado la vida», decía, aunque finalmente no fuesen suficiente para evitar que a los XX años se quitara la vida. Esta selección, a cargo de Luna Miguel, bordea la sexualidad femenina y la violencia hacia el cuerpo de las mujeres.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Anne Sexton, considered one of the most important voices of twentieth-century North American poetry, joins the Flash Poetry Series.
Anne Sexton turned her life into a poetic subject matter. She was a pioneer in confessional lyrics, thus paving the way for other writers who admired her crude display of intimacy and her usage of subject matters considered taboo for writers in general, and for a women in particular. The vibrant sincerity that characterizes her work exposes passion and pain. "Poems and only poems have saved my life," she would say, even if they weren't enough to prevent her from taking her own life at age twenty. This selection made by Luna Miguel, encompasses female sexuality and violence against women.”
