annamaryd365 's review for:
Ariel: The Restored Edition
by Sylvia Plath
I don't typically read poetry books all at once (or finish them at all really) so this was a step outside my comfort zone. I am very glad I did though because it allowed me to become fully immersed in Plath's voice and it was rather fun to discover all the throughlines and recurring motifs that pop up throughout the poems. This specific copy of Ariel also encouraged me to reread all of the poems, as I read them once in Section I and again in Section II. I won't lie and say that I understood all of the poems in this book but Plath has an incredibly engaging way with words that kept me hooked even when I didn't really know what was necessarily going on. I particularly enjoyed her use of color (blue and red specifically appeared many times).
I'm not going to give this one a star rating since I'm not sure how I would even go about that so I will instead list off a few of my favorites from this collection: The Applicant, Lady Lazarus, Tulips, Magi, Stopped Dead, The Moon and the Yew Tree, Letters in November, and Fever 103.
