Featuring selections from Sexton’s first four books, Sleuth, Causeway, Prospect/Refuge, and Drive, as well as twenty-seven new and previously unpublished poems, Site Specific demonstrates how the poet's early origin narratives become her materials for experimentation and artmaking.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 new poem "Subjects Matter," Sexton quotes Lucien Freud, "for me the paint is the person." Here, the poems are the poet.
