TY - JOUR PY - 1993// TI - The suicide of Anne Sexton JO - Suicide and life-threatening behavior A1 - Hendin, Herbert SP - 257 EP - 262 VL - 23 IS - 3 N2 - Anne Sexton, a distinguished poet, killed herself in 1974. Sexton's poems, many of which deal with suicide, read together with a richly researched recent biography--enhanced by the biographer's access to tapes of Sexton's sessions with her psychiatrist and by a foreword by that psychiatrist--permit an unusual opportunity to understand the interrelationship of her illness, her treatment, and the meaning of suicide in her life.
