Edizione: ?anne sexton?s tenth and final volume of poems, brings together most of her important work that remained unpublished at the time of her death. the collection virtually spans the poet?s writing career, for the ?letters to dr. y.? were begun in 1960.while the stories at the end of the book date from 1974, the last year of anne sexton?s life.<br> ?words for dr. y? contains two important unpublished poem sequences. ?letters to dr. y.? is a series of twenty-three poems addressed to an imaginary psychiatrist who is seen as father-confessor, conscience, corrector and comforter. in ?scorpio, bad spider, die: the horoscope poems,? the poet uses a newspaper astrologist?s admonitions as the basis for a moving exploration of her inner life.the power and variety of expression in words for dr. y as a whole remind us once again of the enormous vitality of anne sexton?s diverse, particular gifts. here, she stands out as one of our most original and compelling poetic voices.?-publisher
