About this listen

We look at the poem, "45 Mercy Street" which inspired the song "Mercy Street" by artist Peter Gabriel from his album "So".

We also look at the complicated and profound story of the author of the poem, Anne Sexton, and her struggle with family, society and her own inner demons in her cotnious "awful rowing towards God".
