Big Loves: Larry Sawyer on Anne Sexton - Memoriousmag's Blog

By memoriousmag
Today's Big Loves guest is Larry Sawyer, author of Unable to Fully California (Otoliths, 2010). Big Loves: Anne Sexton. When I first came upon the lines “the virgin is a lovely number” I felt for the first time, more so than when I'd read Wallace.
Anne Sexton’s poetry is something to be caught, read at night, and her flashlight still illumines that which is most marvelous, resonant and redolent of real experience but with wild flights that reward patient readers.
