Book • 1969
Published in 1969, 'Love Poems' by Anne Sexton is a collection that deviates from her typical confessional style by focusing on the sensual and emotional touch in relationships.
The poems explore various affairs, both with men and women, and are characterized by their sensuality and deep emotional connection.
The collection includes poems like 'For My Lover, Returning to His Wife' and 'Song for a Lady,' which highlight the complexities and intensity of love outside the traditional marital context.
Sexton described these poems as 'a celebration of touch… physical and emotional touch'.
