Sylvia Plath:
"She comes across more often as one sinned-against than sinning, whose art provided
a temporary outlet for her pain."

Few modern poets have generated as

the aftermath of her suicide in 1963 at
the age of thirty, Plath's popularity and
stature have steadily increased due to
her powerful, self-revelatory imagery and
her unflinching stare into the abyss of

Now back in print with an updated

biographer.
ult is as if my life were magically
run by two electric currents: joyous
positive and despairing negative-
whichever is running at the
moment dominates my life."
