This thesis aims to examine Anne Sexton’s poems from the perspective of Anti-Oedipus and poetics of anger. She has a raw voice, speaking of herself as an abject who connects the witch’s lineage. I trace Sexton’s resistance to a society built on the Oedipus structure, suggesting that a scrutiny of her Anti-Oedipal attitude may lead to a kind of crack in the rigid ideology and culture of modern society, representing the flow of creation identified by Deleuze and Guattari as a desire machine. I identify her poetic strategy for a way out of anger and her attempt to dissolve the authority of fatherhood. Her will to subvert the Oedipus complex allows creating a new female subject and other diversified beings as future subjects. The subjects in Sexton’s poems attempt to reterritorialize through the process of transforming themselves, breaking away from the solid schema of Oedipus. Through the process of becoming a woman, becoming an animal, and becoming a fish, etc., it is transformed into a body without organs. Rather than denying and suppressing the anger which is accumulated in her mind, she takes flight to an imaginary world that can relieve those feelings in her poetry.
