Anne Sexton’s poetry demonstrates that confession and form are not opposing forces but complementary ones. Her work reveals how deeply personal material can be transformed through structure, rhythm, and metaphor into poetry of lasting power.

“Watch out for intellect,
because it knows so much it knows nothing
and leaves you hanging upside down,
mouthing knowledge as your heart
falls out of your mouth.” —Anne Sexton

Be careful of words,
even the miraculous ones.
...
But I try to take care
and be gentle to them.
Words and eggs must be handled with care.
Once broken they are impossible
things to repair.

born on this day, 1928

And I say only
with my arms stretched out into that stone place,
what is your death
but an old belonging,
a mole that fell out
of one of your poems?
…
O tiny mother,
you too!
O funny duchess!
O blonde thing!

Everyone in me is a bird.
I am beating all my wings.
They wanted to cut you out
but they will not.
They said you were immeasurably empty
but you are not.
They said you were sick unto dying
but they were wrong.
You are singing like a school girl.
You are not torn.

“Love? Be it man. Be it woman. It must be a wave you want to glide in on, give your body to it, give your laugh to it, give, when the gravelly sand takes you, your tears to the land. To love another is something like prayer and can't be planned, you just fall into its arms because your belief undoes your disbelief.” ― Anne Sexton

“"The mentor/and the student/feed off each other."
#AnneSexton #poetry #quote
A poignant reminder that I wish to one day have a mentor who will push me to be my best…I ache for the chance to learn from the best and always have. Every day I chafe against my own limitations.

Instead of my medical history, I’m sharing a poem. Anne Sexton's The Operation hit me like no intake form ever could. Throw in Alfalfa, firecrackers, and Poetry Speaks, and you have a good time.

BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR WORDS
By #AnneSexton
Be careful with your words,
even with the miraculous ones.
For miracles we do our best,
Sometimes shamans like insects
and they don’t leave a sting but a kiss.
They can be as good as fingers.
They can be as sure as a rock
on which you stick your ass.
