The Complete Works of Anne Sexton

"...and I can feel the tune they played the night they left me in this private institution on a hill."


The Works | About Anne

Welcome to my growing archive of Anne Sexton's poetry. Soon I hope to have her entire collection of poems on this site. Give me a few years and we'll see!
