Anne Sexton: A Biography
Anne Sexton began writing poetry at the age of twenty-nine to keep from killing herself. She held on to language for dear life and somehow -- in spite of alcoholism and the mental illness that ultimately led her to suicide -- managed to create a body of work that won a Pulitzer Prize and that still sings to thousands of readers. This exemplary biography, which was nominated for the National Book Award, provoked controversy for its revelations of infidelity and incest and its use of tapes from Sexton's psychiatric sessions. It reconciles the many Anne Sextons: the 1950s housewife; the abused child who became an abusive mother; the seductress; the suicide who carried 'kill-me pills' in her handbag the way other women carry lipstick; and the poet who transmuted confession into lasting art. A wonderful book, just, balanced, insightful, complex in its sympathies and in its judgment of Sexton both as a person and as a writer... a deeply moving account.'-- The New York Times Book Review

Anne Sexton: A Self-Portrait in Letters
An expression of an extraordinary poet's life story in her own words, this book shows Anne Sexton as she really was in private, as she wrote about herself to family, friends, fellow poets, and students. Anne's daughter Linda Gray Sexton and her close confidant Lois Ames have judiciously chosen from among thousands of letters and provided commentary where necessary. Illustrated throughout with candid photographs and memorabilia, the letters -- brilliant, lyrical, caustic, passionate, angry -- are a consistently revealing index to Anne Sexton's quixotic and exuberant personality.

El sexto
Dec a Gonzalo Torrente Malvido, que conoci a fondo el lumpen, que 'El Sexto es la mejor novela sobre la c rcel en lengua espa ola', pero sobre esto y como escribiera Mario Vargas Llosa, 'la prisi n es solo un medio, el decorado que usa Arguedas para representar un drama que lo hostig toda su vida y que, sin duda, contribuy a forjar la crisis que culmin con su suicidio: el de la marginalidad'. En efecto, sobre el l gamo de sordidez de la prisi n, por donde campan degenerados de toda laya, y donde, por si fuera poco, se disputan enconadas batallas pol ticas entre apristas y comunistas por un pa s que se halla a extramuros, despunta, como nico recurso para cualquier existencia posible, un lirismo y una nostalgia que dotan al relato de una vivacidad y de una genuinidad, que no s lo lo convierten en una de las novelas cimeras de la prosa hispana del s. XX, sino una experiencia indeleble para cuantos la han le do.

Anne Boleyn
Anne Boleyn’s unconventional beauty inspired poets - and she so entranced Henry VIII with her wit, allure and style that he was prepared to set aside his wife of over twenty years and risk his immortal soul. Her sister had already been the king’s mistress, but the other Boleyn girl followed a different path. For years the lovers waited; did they really remain chaste? Did Anne love Henry, or was she a calculating femme fatale? Eventually replacing the long-suffering Catherine of Aragon, Anne enjoyed a magnificent coronation and gave birth to the future Queen Elizabeth, but her triumph was short-lived. Why did she go from beloved consort to adulteress and traitor within a matter of weeks? What role did Thomas Cromwell and Jane Seymour of Wolf Hall play in Anne’s demise? Was her fall one of the biggest sex scandals of her era, or the result of a political coup? With her usual eye for the telling detail, Amy Licence explores the nuances of this explosive and ultimately deadly relationship
