Abstract
Sexton is a sensitive poet who endures pain and depression that turn her life into a fertile soil for her poetry. She grants the world her gift through poetry. Her poetry is a revelation of internal and imaginative life. Her life can be depicted accurately as a series of journeys for her quest searching for identity, religion and woman freedom. Her poetry is a valid record of these journeys; this imposes its effect of the divisions of this thesis. The thesis is divided into four chapters.
