Her metaphoric strength has never been greater -- really funny, among other things, a dark, dark laughter" -C.K. Williams"I asked a poet friend one time what it was that poets did, and he thought awhile and then he told me, 'They extend the language.' Anne Sexton does a deeper favor for me: she domesticates my terror, examines it and describes it, teaches it some tricks which will amuse me, then lets it gallop into my forest once more." -- from the foreword by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. Details ISBN 061808343X ISBN-13 9780618083435 Title Transformations Author Anne Sexton Format Paperback Year 2001 Pages 128 Edition 1st Publisher Houghton Mifflin GEItemID:2624837; About Us Grand Eagle Retail is the ideal place for all your shopping needs!
