The Woman Who Made Language Sing

SEXTON, Anne. 45 Mercy Street. Boston: Houghton Mifflin. 1976.

8vo. Original yellow card wrappers; pp. [vi], 114, [2], very minimal stain on front wrapper; otherwise fine.

Uncorrected proof copy of the first edition.

Anne Sexton was one of the most noted poets of mid-20th century America. Her career blossomed from unexpected roots when her therapist suggested she write in order to regain mental stability. Embarking on this creative and therapeutic journey through participating in writing groups in Boston, she became acquainted with the likes of Sylvia Plath and Robert Lowell. Her first book, To Bedlam and Part Way Back (1960) relayed her experiences of mental volatility as she suffered from bipolar disorder and she was praised for her confessional tone. Within 12 years of the writing of her first sonnet, she was an accoladed Pulitzer Prize winner. As writer Erica Jong writes of the fascinating autobiographical potential to Sexton's verse "She is an important poet not only because of her courage in dealing with previously forbidden subjects, but because she can make the language sing".

45 Mercy Street is a posthumous work, published two years after her suicide and relays the events of her life. Of 45 Mercy Street she supposedly remarked "Part of 45 Mercy Street is still too personal to publish for sometime".

I absolutely love this throw blanket! From the moment I took it out of the package, I could tell how soft and well-made it was. It’s incredibly cozy without being too heavy, making it perfect for relaxing on the couch, watching TV, or adding an extra layer of warmth to the bed. The material feels high quality and has held up really well after washing—no shedding or fading. It keeps me warm without overheating, which is exactly what I was looking for. I also love how it adds a nice touch to my daughter’s room. The color is beautiful and looks exactly like the pictures, making it both functional and decorative. Overall, this throw blanket is a great value for the price. Comfortable, stylish, and durable—I would definitely recommend it and plan to buy more!
