Ariel by Sylvia Plath

jashegerova's review against another edition

3.0

Extremely dissapointing in how dissociated I felt while reading this.

Clearly, too sophisticated for my current attention span - I can’t help but be bitter that my dad didn’t let me read this at 15 (he considered it “too heavy”) when I was, in fact, about to enter the peak of my poetry phase.

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