In Anne Sexton in Counterpoint: The Ghost and the Catcher, poet Sergio Torres-Martínez creates a haunting dialogue with one of the most confessional voices of the twentieth century.

His verses explore love, death, faith, and the fragile act of creation with a clarity that feels both reverent and fiercely original.At once homage and reinvention, Anne Sexton in Counterpoint invites readers into a poetic conversation across time—where the ghost of Sexton and the voice of the Catcher merge in a shared pursuit of meaning, survival, and beauty beyond despair.
