Bleak and raw. I knew it would be hard to read. She masterfully articulates her pain and struggle in her life. She felt connected to nature, experiencing and using the beauty and ugliness of the world around her to convey such unsettling and overwhelmed thoughts. The contrasting poems ‘A Birthday Present’ and ‘Letter in November’ are placed beside each other in the collection, and both highlight the opposing cruxes of Plath’s harrowing eagerness to die as well as her deep fondness for nature.
My favourites: Sheep in Fog, The Moon and the Yew Tree, A Birthday Present, The Rival, Years, and Paralytic.

It is brooding, emotional, devastating, heartbreaking... and also uplifting in ways. Reflective on life.
