My book deals with the quest for truth in the poetry of Anne Sexton as made manifest in her volumes foregrounding the indelible construction of honesty. What I intend to show is the legacy of the biographical touch. Unlike some critics who evade the personal at the expense of the professional and artistic, this study illuminates the substantiality of referring to Anne Sexton's The Complete Poems as a full compilation, targeted to tell the true story of a poet, being an eminent member of a confessional mode of writing. Looking inside the biographical treasure, though critics tend to disclaim this, is at the heart of this work, for the whole confessional pyramid has been built around the personal, solipsistic, subjective, narcissistic, self-obsessed and subjective writing. Poems from CP will be a testimony, showing that her poetry mirrors her life with all its ups and downs though the big question is raised: Is art for art or for a poet's life, to recount?
