Anne Bradstreet. This is a paper on Anne Bradstreet who was a poet that was deeply attached to her loved ones. A strong connection existed between she and her father, her husband, he children. Her poems illustrate the greatness of her love for her husband; she gives light to a love that withstands time and distance. Everything she wrote was with only the strongest of feelings. Most of her works were written after the death of her father. Perhaps Bradstreet experienced greater freedom to express her deepest personal feelings in her work after his death. During these years, she wrote primarily about her domestic life and her spiritual experiences. Poetry writing enabled Bradstreet to endure the conflicts of her middle years when her affections were not sufficiently weaned from her family to permit her to put the demands of God first. Her craft also made it easier to accept the periods of isolation during her husband's frequent and sometimes long absences while he was on business for the church.
