"Writers and New England: a Many-Sided Mad Affair"

 

A presentation from With Robert Lowell and His Circle: Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton, Elizabeth Bishop, Stanley Kunitz and Others

by Kathleen Spivack

 

This presentation is going to be fun--and relevant. I’m going to focus on New England (a major character in the book) and of course on Lowell, Bishop, Plath, Sexton, Rich, as well as some of the other poets around the time and place. What is it about our wonderful--and maddening--region that has had such an influence on writers? There'll be time for questions and comments.
