Why read it?
1 author picked The Collected Poems as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
As the years pass it seems to me that Sylvia Plath is not just one of the notable poets of the second half of the twentieth century but the stand-out voice after whom everyone had to refer back to her. Her death by suicide still stirs the imagination; her poems are a kind of controlled scream showing her wrestling with an intolerable mental condition.
From Jad's list on how women rock the world.
