I did a high school project on her such a while back and seriously NO other poet has ever moved me as much as she has. She impresses me so much, I love her. LOVE.
Anne Sexton, IMO, is the single most underrated female writer in American history. She wrote about things that shocked people of the time...that STILL shock people...and broke down barriers for women and for writers. Beautiful lady, brilliant writer...I just wish she would have found the will to live. RIP, Anne, and thank you.
She seems so full of life in this video, much of it she could not live out due to her illness - her emotional need - just that turned to her death wish - just the opposite, a vicious circle she could not escape being alive. In her intensity she was alone as hell.
Occasionally, I speak in a persona when writing poems...it's more of the way for an empath to do so, I think. Also, having curiosity for things inexperienced yet in life...to ponder and prepare oneself for what is yet to inevitably come. Wonderful insight here from Anne Sexton.
She reminds me of my aunt alot. Heavy smoker, looks like a drinker, doesn't say no to substance abuse, actually full of life but the joy being restricted by the family life. She's a housewife and she hates it but there's nothing she seemingly can do about it. It's so sad.
The sound of Anne Sexton's voice in the background is fitting for when one shaves, or eats, or sits to smoke a cigarette. Its like she's sitting there in the next room. Thank you Sexton.
"...I am certain of nothing except the holiness of the Heart's affections...And the truth of the Imagination..."(Keats)...Ms. Sexton...You came...And went...For your own reasons...It was such a loss for people you never knew...You are greaty needed today...True...There are your words...But one always looks for the source...I would think that you fit well into Timelessness...Merci Beaucoup...James Patrick Casey...
Brilliant--this is found gold, thank you so, so much. I've never seen Sexton "candidly" and this shows off her incredible intelligence and charisma. Priceless.
Siempre vengo a escucharla. Son esos poemas que nadie, después haberlos recitado ella, podrían recitarlos. Son muy pocas personas, incluso poetas que logran esa expresión al recitar.
I love Anne sexton , such an incredible human being Her poetry is immortally delightful and realistically sad She knew how to write death in beautiful and heart-warming words
Lord, she was beautiful---and a writer of beautiful poems. It's electrifying to see her read the words herself. Anne knew how to work the mike and the camera. The scenes with her family are touching, too. Seeing this really brings Sexton to life. Thanks for sharing this film with us.
She was such a wonderful woman. And her poetry was sublime. It is indeed sad that a person so beautiful should commit suicide! I love her voice when she speaks.
Did you read Middlebrook's book too? Anne was many not-so-great things to those who had to rely on her for any sort of support but she has a very unique place as a female, American poet. I feel like her family suffered so that we could get the good bits of her that were somehow able to write amazing poetry with brilliant, funny insights about being female in a society that didn't exactly ask for her point of view.
I was enthralled the whole way through. She's my favorite poet, and watching this was in itself some kind of poetry. She probably wouldn't think so. That's what makes her poetic.
We are all vulnerable.. Anne more than most If you have never been near the edge .how can you judge..wife..mother..poet.. can blame these creative women not wanting to become themselves not just a dish washer.. a pram pusher. Anne's family life was tested.. she has been criticised in a way a man would never be. Great poet.. she reads amazingly.
THE PIANO PIECE IS CHOPIN - BALLADE #1 IN G MINOR - MY FAVORITE SHORT FORM PIANO SOLO MASTERPIECE - THIS PIECE HAD A LOT TO DO WITH PULLING ME INTO CLASSICAL MUSIC, ESPECIALLY WHEN PLAYED BY THE GREATEST AMERICAN PIANIST, IVAN DAVIS, IN FACT THIS RECORDING OF IT SOUNDS ALMOST IDENTICAL TO IVAN'S VERSION, AND MIGHT EVEN BE HIS RECORDING OF IT !!! SHE IS AN ECCENTRIC FOR SURE, DON'T KNOW HER WORKS ENOUGH TO DECLARE HER A GENIUS.....JUST DISCOVERED HER TODAY........ TOO BAD ABOUT ALL THE DRUGS AND DRINK..... SEEMS ALL THE GREAT ECCENTRICS AND / OR GENIUSES THINK THEY MUST FALL INTO THAT PATTERN TO BE RECOGNIZED AS GREAT....... MAYBE THEY SHOULD HAVE GIVEN HER AN I.Q. TEST, SO WE COULD KNOW FOR SURE - HA !!!
Her poetry jumps at you/ Like Bunuel's ants, you just can't let them go...her stare sees through you & u feel she knows exactly who you are...like the ants they just go crazy, but that's what I love about her...her words take off to where she needs to go.
+torikkusuta Few artists and literary greats were nearly as beautiful, with a body that is made for flowing long silk gowns, and its perfect. The garment barely touches and she is hardly touching it, there it just floats close around like it would if she were underwater.
Does anybody know the song she was praising at the end of the video? It sounded really pretty. Also, is there a version of this with english subtitles? The vintage audio makes it difficult for me to hear certain words she says.
When will you return to see if the opportunity exists with you to be alone in the dark and thus be able to conquer you But why want your kisses if your lips do not want Why dream a love that does not exist in you Fixing hope on something that has already died? If at the end of the illusion there is not a day that is not gray,
It is easy for an actress to play Plath because her life revolved around her father who died when she was young. With Anne, no way it can be done. She is not bound by anything due to sex, creed, or race. Movies like to package people. Can't do it with Anne.
Its like looking in a mirror. The sense of humor..her ability to amuse herself with 'her humor is enlightening..but that darker side is also visible with her demanding side. Bipolars are so many all strewn together. She was somewhat manic here but drug controlled.
I think you may some problems of your own if you are specifically attracted to women with such severe psychological issues. She never had much confidence. She wrote Snodgrass, late in her career, sending a few poems, with a desperate plea, can you tell me, is this the real Anne? She had no idea who she was.
I feel anything taken and analyzed from a woman like Anne will really leave one without explanation, and finding only more fascinating and numerous questions never explained. The reality is only one solid conclusion can be made about her, and that is to face the fact that is the deeper exploring inside the mind of a genius like hers will make finding the answer to one part of her an easy door to gain entry only to face three more with questions behind which no answer, only more to go on and so on and on to nothing but questions unanswerable. In doing so one begins to feel dumb. Stupid, for wasting time spent better off reading Anne's poetry and likely finding more of one's own self and answers and gaining emotional awareness.. What could be more obvious, as the purpose of Anne's work began as a method for soothing and nurturing the suffering of what she knew was a mind of bottomless questions and mysterious passages to no end, it was her nature. Anne could have kept at the hopeless psychiatric work for an answer to find, I cannot imagine more a wasteful effort than anything such as the task that one would have been. I say, read what she wrote and fulfill the legacy.
Oh, and I also meant to add that she is clearly trying to seduce the filmmaker -- as this short film progresses one can see her go from sober to pretty buzzed and I think she became more destructive and hurtful when she was under the influence.
Thats the part of her with no patience..irritability...loving something and then that slaps you in the face. I did that constantly before meds..mindfulness and "listening to hear" what my kids were saying about my swift furosity.
I know she was a deeply troubled person but she's got so much charisma at the same time. She seemed like a great person to just talk with.
LTProductionsInc true❤️
I LOVE her voice. It has so much character.
Absolutely love the part at the end when she is listening to a beautiful piece of music. "Feel it! Better than a poem... music beats us."
That's Chopin's first Ballade. Sounds like the recording by Robert Casadesus.
I did a high school project on her such a while back and seriously NO other poet has ever moved me as much as she has. She impresses me so much, I love her. LOVE.

Her voice is so comforting
She reminds me of my aunt alot. Heavy smoker, looks like a drinker, doesn't say no to substance abuse, actually full of life but the joy being restricted by the family life. She's a housewife and she hates it but there's nothing she seemingly can do about it. It's so sad.
Thats deeper than what prose may suggest
Such an amazing poet, charisma and charm aside her lyrics are beautiful. Absolutely love her poems
sexs
귀중한 영상 감사합니다.지금 그녀의 시에 매료되었읍니다.너무 좋아요.love her poems❤️
She's beautiful and fiery....full of sound and fury....you know?
The sound of Anne Sexton's voice in the background is fitting for when one shaves, or eats, or sits to smoke a cigarette. Its like she's sitting there in the next room. Thank you Sexton.

When she says “music beats us”

@Mustafá Arredondo es una linda coincidencia.
gran video grande anne
I love Anne sexton , such an incredible human being
Her poetry is immortally delightful and realistically sad
She knew how to write death in beautiful and heart-warming words
this is amazing
"I'll take my Budweiser."
She was ahead of her time.
The Thorazine she was on at the time caused dry mouth. A miserable feeling.
This is wonderful! THANKS!
Thank you Mr Poe for your words and warm defense against judgmental voices, and support of honest human voices.
I lover her .........she trully brilliant!!!!
que maravilla
Her eyes, just her eyes were an unreadable, passionate poem.
Lord, she was beautiful---and a writer of beautiful poems. It's electrifying to see her read the words herself. Anne knew how to work the mike and the camera.
The scenes with her family are touching, too. Seeing this really brings Sexton to life. Thanks for sharing this film with us.
heyyy I'm blind so would u plz tell me what happens in the video? What pics can be seen? Thanks if u help XX
She was such a wonderful woman. And her poetry was sublime. It is indeed sad that a person so beautiful should commit suicide! I love her voice when she speaks.
Magnificent.
Such a beautiful lady poet!
oh. She IS divine. and I always wondered what her voice and mannerisms would be like. lovely :)

la ame desde el primer día que la leí
love anne....
Un tal Chopin, en su Ballada No. 1. Un gusto invitarte a su casa.
Maravillosa mujer. De grande sensibilidad artística.
thank you thank you thank you so very much...
I love you anne
She was perhaps a GENIUS?!?!?!
Cheers - Mike
I think that they should do a film on her...they've already have done a film on Sylvia Plath so why not Anne Sexton?
What do you guys think?
She's like a flower.
what meds did they give her?
loved her, and her dark glory..
+jan smiths It was probably Dexamyl, a early antidepressant and Valium, Tuinal or Seconal at night.
Thorazine or something it was a tranq. She would stop taking it to write then go back on it.
😍😍😍
I was enthralled the whole way through. She's my favorite poet, and watching this was in itself some kind of poetry. She probably wouldn't think so. That's what makes her poetic.
What's the name of the song she is hearing at min. 8:00? It's an awesome piece.
Great Anne Sexton, hearing her its just... fascinating.
Ballade #1 by Frederic Chopin. I can't believe no one has answered your question since you asked it six years ago. I hope you check in for the answer.
@@JonathanGeffner thank you man
We are all vulnerable.. Anne more than most
If you have never been near the edge
.how can you judge..wife..mother..poet.. can blame these creative women not wanting to become themselves not just a dish washer.. a pram pusher. Anne's family life was tested.. she has been criticised in a way a man would never be. Great poet.. she reads amazingly.
what piano piece is she listening to?!
Bless her..
I also would like to know the name of the song!
It's a piece by Chopin.

What a personality!!
Debra Winger could play her.
I am with LukeK79--this is fantastic! 5*/fav
@nodreamingofthedead
explain why

Maybe... Cate Blanchett?

I was thinking Rose Byrne
Rachel Brosnahan!
@@LTProductionsInc Rachel Brosnahan
De donde estan sacados estos fragmentos?
Anybody know the name of the music she was listening to?
Patrick Jones Chopin.
OMG is she Linda that she talked to? Sooo cute!!! Are they wlaking together? I ask bc I'm blind. And what clothes did Anne wear? Anybody???? :)) XX
A Perfect Circle?
Let the damn dog in hahaha
Does anybody know the song she was praising at the end of the video? It sounded really pretty.

I wonder why she wrote Menstruation at 40 when she was 35?
Anne said her poems are usually about 4 years ahead of her life.
Remember her word: "My poetry was always 4 years ahead of my life..."
It is easy for an actress to play Plath because her life revolved around her father who died when she was young.
With Anne, no way it can be done. She is not bound by anything due to sex, creed, or race. Movies like to package people. Can't do it with Anne.
susan sarandon?
Anne Sexton deserves a major motion picture.
I know the perfect actress to portray her.
Can you guess who I have in mind?
Its like looking in a mirror. The sense of humor..her ability to amuse herself with 'her humor is enlightening..but that darker side is also visible with her demanding side. Bipolars are so many all strewn together. She was somewhat manic here but drug controlled.
i love her poetry. i have a t-shirt with her

cuál es la canción en el piano que suena al final???
Salem Smokers, that's my band's name.
interesting
but what for the custodial approach to goddam dog changing it to damn dog
much better to have left it in
she was a Scorpio which explains her depression.
Oh, and I also meant to add that she is clearly trying to seduce the filmmaker -- as this short film progresses one can see her go from sober to pretty buzzed and I think she became more destructive and hurtful when she was under the influence.
Zelda Rosella
0,50 mn creepy eyes! Was she joking? 😬
A sensual woman. Amazing voice and orating skills. Would have been a great actress.
possessed you before all women WOW
Sextons transformation is amazing
Who screams at a dog?
Thats the part of her with no patience..irritability...loving something and then that slaps you in the face. I did that constantly before meds..mindfulness and "listening to hear" what my kids were saying about my swift furosity.
