I'm surprised how much I enjoyed this! My first experience reading Plath and one I'll definitely return to- quite often I feel lost by poetry or feel like the ideas aren't fully realised, but this really is fantastic writing, and clearly from a raw, personal place. 'Tulips' in particular has really stuck with me. I also liked 'The Rival', 'Paralytic', 'Balloons' and 'Poppies in July'.
