Anne Sexton (1928-1974), one of the most celebrated American poets of the 20th century from her beginnings as a writer, published her first poems in prestigious magazines such as The New Yorker, Harper's Magazine, and Saturday Review, and attended John Holmes' literary workshop, where she met Maxine Kumin, with whom she would remain inseparable until the end of her days and with whom she co-wrote four children's books. In another workshop, she came into contact with Sylvia Plath and later directed her own writing workshops at various universities. A figure surrounded by controversy due to her numerous diagnoses of mental illness and her subsequent suicide, she made the female experience the central theme of her poetic work and came to be considered one of the most prominent figures of confessional poetry. During her literary career, she published numerous poetry collections, among which stand out: To the Asylum and Almost Back, Live or Die (for which she won the Pulitzer Prize), Love Poems, Transformations, and The Book of Madness.
