This is the second poetry book that I have fully read through. Firstly, I think it is very interesting that it is her ex-husband who helped to publish and edit her books about twenty years after her suicide. It makes for an interesting background, but also the events that led up to it are essentially what influenced the order and themes of many of the author’s poems. Sylvia Plath managed to discuss the full range of the experience of being a woman, the trauma that society faces, and many other ideas like the beauty of nature. I liked her juvenilia the best but it is hard to choose the best poems out of so many good ones. They are each eye-catching and meaningful in their own ways. Titles like “The Beekeeper’s Daughter” and “Poppies in October” match up to the uniqueness of their names.

Da anni volevo avvicinarmi alla poesia di Sylvia Plath ed è stata una piacevole scoperta.
Sylvia Plath è un'autrice del tutto singolare, che va letta più volte, al fine di percepire quella sottile ambiguità che la teneva sospesa tra cielo e terra. Un anima tormentata (morta suicida all'età di 30 anni) ma con un grande sensibilità che si percepisce sia nelle sua poesie che nella prosa del suo romanzo semi-autobiografico "La campana di vetro". Da leggere almeno una volta nella vita.

One can only hope to have the power to evoke the emotions and sensations that Syhlvia Plaths poetry is capable of. As a writer, Sylvia Plath, is fluid, vivid and extra ordinary...one of a kind! An absolute must for those who love poetry and a cannot live without for women who love poetry.
