Analysis and comments on Consorting With Angels by Anne Sexton

Comment 1 of 1, added on December 2nd, 2005 at 10:30 PM.

i think that this poem is one of my favorites from sexton that i have read
yet. it portrays very well the frustration she is now known for having felt
with women's oppression in the pre-feminism american society; but it can
easily apply to current feminist issues as well. i love the message that
she sends, and in such ironic but beautifully chosen words.
