Additional Information
Noted author and poet Anne Sexton was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in the same year that this photograph was taken. Sexton was among the literary elite of the era and studied poetry at Harvard along Robert Lowell, Sylvia Plath, and George Starbuck and she completed her first volume of poetry in 1960 titled To Bedlam and Part Way Back. Sexton's work was featured in numerous respected American magazines, including The New Yorker, Harper's, and The Saturday Review, and remains some of the most respected poetry from the American mid-century, which marked a turning point in American literature.
Sexton began writing poetry under the advice of her therapist, Dr. Martin Orne, who began treating her in 1955 following a manic episode. Her work remains highly regarded for its highly personal subject matter that addresses the mental health issues that she struggled with before her death in 1974. This photograph captures the iconic poet at the height of her fame, and its distinctive aesthetic and minimal style mirrors her work, which continues to inspire writers across the world. Sexton is widely associated with the Confessional poetry movement of the mid-century and contains topics which had previously not been discussed in contemporary literature or poetry.
Sexton's 1967 collection of poems which earned her the highly prestigious Pulitzer Prize, Live or Die, remains an essential work. Sexton's rapid rise to acclaim was unlike most writers of her time and she had a prolific career after taking her first poetry workshop under Professor John Holmes.
