Synopsis

“ Elaine Sexton enlarges on what Modernism observed,” writes Joyce Peseroff of Sexton’ s fourth collection, Drive, pointing to the qualities and breadth of her work as an artist, editor, essayist, and poet. With Site Specific, Sexton’ s new and selected poems, readers will witness the formation of a poet and artist whose work evolves thrillingly with each new publication. Featuring selections from her first four books, Sleuth, Causeway, Prospect/Refuge, and Drive, as well as twenty-seven new and previously unpublished poems, Site Specific demonstrates how the poet’ s early origin narratives become her materials for experimentation and artmaking. In the epigraph to her poem “ Subjects Matter,” Sexton quotes Lucien Freud, “ for me the paint is the person.” Here, the poems are the poet.
