Ariel: The Restored Edition: A Facsimile Of Plath's Manuscript, Reinstating Her Original Selection And Arrangement by Frieda Hughes, Sylvia Plath
5.0
adventurous challenging dark emotional funny reflective sad tense slow-paced
So pleased that an edition that has reinstated Plath's original ordering exists.  It completely changes one's reading of the poems.  It also brings out that the biggest theme of the series alongside her clearly crippling depression is love and its maladaptive distortion.  I love these poems and come back to them again and again.
