Description
First edition. 8vo, white cloth with original publisher’s dust jacket. 114 pp. In fine condition.
Edizione: “45 mercy street is a vivid record of the concerns that occupied the poet in the last years of her life - concerns that are central to the kind of life we lead. ‘the divorce papers,’ an unprecedented group of poems informed in nearly equal measure by anger, despair, and love, occupies the center of the book. the reader will also notice a strong interest in social problems, and in the ravaging influence of money on american lives. and, as always, there are the poems made out of anne sexton’s daily experience, transformed through her special insight into something rich and strange and awesome.”-publisher
