- Description
- The American poet and writer Anne Sexton (1928-1974) was also a dedicated teacher. In this book, the author opens up Sexton's classroom, uncovering a teacher who demonstrated that the personal could also be plural. In doing so, she situates the teaching life of Anne Sexton at the center of some of the key problems and questions in feminist teaching: navigating the appropriate distance between teacher and student, the relationship between writer and poetic subject, and the relationship between emotional life and knowledge.
