“The moon is my mother. She is not sweet like Mary.
Her blue garments unloose small bats and owls.”

It’s so dark - the kind where if it was written by your friend you would know unequivocally that they are NOT ok. Really heavy.
The moon and the yew tree was my fave.

Sylvia Plath is a talented poet and I really like some of the poems in the collection but the nazi/holocaust references and racist statements made me feel uncomfortable
