smukke digte. forskellige. jeg kunne særligt godt lide de digte, der handlede om relationer og mentalt helbred.

challenging dark reflective slow-paced

4.5

This collection of poetry is one of my favourites, particularly in its exploration of the role of women, death, and marriage. Plath's sound techniques and rhythm of writing is beautiful, I feel like there are lines of her poetry still running around my head. Her poetry definitely sticks with you, and honestly, it is a wonderful. There are some issues, mainly the use of racial slurs as Plath was a product of her time (aka, she was racist, unfortunately).

I don't think this is for me, either I'm dumb as shit or English being my second language or both but I didn't understand a single thing in this poetry collection.

Each page felt like it was a bunch of random words put together with no rhyme or reason. There's no rhythe scheme or metre; the words do not congure up any imagery, beautiful or otherwise; there is no meaning I can decipher... I was so bored throughout the entire thing. I'm not going to give it a star rating because as I said, I think this is not for me and so it wouldn't be fair for me to give it a one star.

Oh also, what's with the racism?? homegirl wrote this in the 1960s the civil rights movement was well under way then so there's no excuse for the bigotry displayed in her writing. She's considered a feminist? smeh white people.
