This book was produced to celebrate Sylvia Plath’s 75th anniversary.
It was wonderful to get to know Plath beyond being a writer and poet. Through essays referencing Plath’s art (also included in book), I was taken on a journey of how her creativity develops, which would also facilitate her writing.
I found the essays fascinating in how they discuss Plath’s art; the analysis mixes Plath’s biography and writings, including journals and letters. It also highlights influences and artistic choices.
Until I found this second book early this year, I’ve only known Plath as a writer, so reading this was refreshing because for a while now I’ve had this inkling that there is more to Sylvia Plath than meets the eye.
To me this is a brilliant, brilliant way to remember and celebrate the life of Sylvia Plath.

This year I’ve lined up 7 Sylvia Plath books, with this one read, I have two left.
