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".

Great sheepskin seat covers
Color: Grey, Size: Front Seat Cushions-2 Pcs, Color: Grey, Size: Front Seat Cushions-2 Pcs
These are a perfect fit for my Mazda CX5 seats. I got the grey which compliments my interior and hopefully will not get as hot as black ones would. The shearling covers are plush without looking too hairy. They are real wool despite some reviewers opinions. (they feel like one of my sheep, only cleaner lol). The attachments work well. Just slip the plastic piece through the seat crack until it flips and holds. Mine also came with elastic straps and hooks to anchor the front but I can’t find a good place to hook them so I will not use them. The grippy backing keeps them in place just fine. These covers elevate the car interior and are super comfy. Very happy with my purchase.

Seat Cover That Did Not Disappoint!
Color: Pearl, Size: Front Seat Cushion-1 Pc
So Soft. Good under-side grips. Didn't have time to 'properly' attach, so I just put the cover on top of the seat. That was about a week ago and it hasn't moved. Wonderfully cool and there's no more sticking to the seat in the heat. Worth the price.

Good seat COVER, but not a seat cushion
Color: Grey, Size: Front Seat Cushion-1 Pc
First, it would be very helpful if the description/information did not use the word "cushion" as this implies some sort of padding in addition to the cover. The cover has a layered backing but there is no cushioning or padding like material. That said, it is a very nice sheepskin cover. It was well packed and the sheepskin material itself is soft. It is a good size and nice to sit on. However, I will return as I need some actual padding to make my very firm car seat more comfortable. My rating would have been 5 stars otherwise.
