Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. The poet Anne Sexton (1928-74) struggled with depression for much of her adult life, which culminated in her suicide at age 46. Her first book, To Bedlam and Part Way Back, recounts, as James Dickey observed, the experiences "of madness and near-madness, of the pathetic, well-meaning, necessarily tentative and perilous attempts at cure, and of the patient's slow coming back into the human associations and responsibilities which the old, previous self still demands." It includes the poem "Her Kind," with the haunting lines "A woman like that is not ashamed to die. I have been her kind." Octavo: x, 67 pp. Original gray paper-covered boards over a black cloth spine with silver-stamped titles. Light bump to the spine heel.

A lovely, collector's copy signed and dated. Anne Sexton (November 9, 1928, Newton, Massachusetts October 4, 1974, Weston, Massachusetts) was an American poet, known for her highly personal, confessional verse. She won the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1967. Themes of her poetry include her suicidal tendencies, long battle against depression and various intimate details from her private life, including her relationships with her husband and children. Much has been made of the tangled threads of her writing, her life and her depression, much in the same way as with Sylvia Plath's suicide in 1963. John Berryman, Robert Lowell, Adrienne Rich and Denise Levertov commented in separate obituaries on the role of creativity in Sexton's death. Levertov says, "We who are alive must make clear, as she could not, the distinction between creativity and self-destruction."
