poetry, nomination, metaphor, Anne SextonAbstract
In this interpretation, Anne Sexton's poems constitute a transgression of dominant socio-cultural and literary norms and values. The textual analysis highlights the range of imagery produced by "nomination" and the use of daring metaphors, but it ultimately centers on the lexical patterns which can be traced back to each of the poet's major artistic phases.
