This is only my view, but both were "war" poets. One in the battle of mental reality and the other, physical reality. Live or Die...what a choice, eh ?

Answer 3

Is this a homework assignment? I haven't read Sexton in years, and have never read Owen, a war poet (just Googled him)

Red lips are not so red
As the stained stones kissed by the English dead.

I will read some of his later on today.

Answer 4

Anne Sexton - controversial writer of the 1950s - wrote on taboo subjects, Wilfred Owen WW1 War Poet....I don't see any connection. he was shellchocked she bipolar - maybe the catalyst for creativity being mental illness? please enlighten us PP. Unless Wilfred describe war as a woman in any of his poems...
