The sea is mother death and she is a mighty female, the one who wins, the one who sucks us all up

Anne Sexton was a poet known for her raw and confessional style, delving into themes of mental illness, family dynamics, and the struggles of womanhood. In her work, she often used vivid and powerful imagery to convey her emotions and experiences. One such example is the line, “The sea is mother death and she is a mighty female, the one who wins, the one who sucks us all up.”
