Sinopse

"The speaker of Sexton's poems dwells with husband andchildren in affluent, white Protestant America justafter the death of JFK . . . More than a centuryearlier, Hawthorne had created in The Scarlet Letter asexual female protagonist, Hester Prynne -- to exhibither leading a life of disgrace at the margins of thetown because of her sin of adultery. In Sexton's NewEngland the margins of town have been transformed intosuburbia, and adultery looms as the next horizon ofsexual destiny, once marriage and childbirth haveripened a woman's body and mapped her pleasurecenters. In 1969 this was new; no woman had publishedsuch poems in English for centuries." -- from theforeword by Diane Wood Middlebrook
