About this book

Se une a Poesía Portátil la voz de Anne Sexton, una de las poetas más importantes de la poesía norteamericana del siglo XX. Anne Sexton convirtió su vida en materia poética. Fue pionera en la lírica confesional y abrió así el camino para otras escritoras que admiraban su exposición cruda de la intimidad y un tratamiento de temas considerados tabú, para la escritura en general y para una mujer en particular. La sinceridad vital que caracteriza su obra pone al descubierto pasión y dolor. «Poemas y solo poemas me han salvado la vida», decía, aunque finalmente no fuesen suficiente para evitar que a los XX años se quitara la vida. Esta selección, a cargo de Luna Miguel, bordea la sexualidad femenina y la violencia hacia el cuerpo de las mujeres.
