» Wannabe37 - Help translating 3 Sexton Poems

I need some help from some poetry lovers and artists. I am trying to find the meanings and translations of 3 Anne Sexton poems (Doctors, Bayonet, and After Auschwitz). I have my own ideas and thoughts, but I'm very curious to see how my ideas compare to others. Please comment back. Thanks!

I think you might be more successful in eliciting responses from people if you tell us what your ideas are first. What do YOU think these poems "mean"?

i have the anne sexton biography - the doctor poems were mainly about her therapist dr orne i think - and later when he moved about her others - who she relied on like 'a child' yet felt towards them like lovers if i remember
