Searching for Mercy Street: My Journey Back to My Mother, Anne Sexton | Linda Gray Sexton

pick

Sansa‘s modelling the book to cheer me up a bit!
A very sad and painful pick 😢 oh what a destructive force mental illness can be. I felt so sorry for both mother and daughter and the rest of the family.
I don‘t think I could have written this and it raises lots of ethical issues about some of the materials used.
I have binged on Sexton for a couple of weeks now, time for something light and fluffy for a while- I shall return.

#Mercy #AugustGrrrl #poetAnneSexton
A memoir written by the poet Anne Sexton's daughter. Remember it had a powerful impact on me.
I love Litsy!❤️This prompt immediately reminded me of this book. Now as peruse it, I am wanting to reread and connect with my younger self who enjoyed so many poets of this period.

TrishB Sounds interesting. 8y

Cinfhen So awesome that your memory can recall past books! 7y

kspenmoll @TrishB St the time I read it I loved it. Would definitely reread now after so@much tome has passed. 7y

kspenmoll @Cinfhen 😉 The song/prompt triggered the title right away- not always the case! ThenI had to figure out what bookcase it was in- that took more time!! 7y
