A review by maya_winifred
Ariel by Sylvia Plath

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).
