Overview
A beautiful hardcover selection the best-loved poems of Pulitzer Prize-winner Sylvia Plath, author of The Bell Jar. AN EVERYMAN'S LIBRARY POCKET POET.
Sylvia Plath's tragically abbreviated career as a poet began with work that was, in the words of one of her teachers, Robert Lowell, "formidably expert." It ended with a group of poems published after her suicide in 1963 which are, in the nakedness of their confessions, in their black humor, in their ferocious honesty about what people do to one another and to themselves, among the most harrowing lyrics in the English language--poems in which a magnificent, exquisitely disciplined literary gift has been brought to bear upon the unbearable. In these transfiguring poems, Plath managed the rarest of feats: she changed the direction and orientation of an art form.
This Everyman's Library Pocket Poets edition includes:
* "Lady Lazarus"
* "Daddy"
* "Morning Song"
* "Tulips"
* "The Moon and the Yew Tree"
* "Ariel"
* "Poppies in October"
* "Death & Co."
Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a jewel-toned jacket.
