Sylvia Plath

The response of one writer to the work of another can be doubly illuminating. In this series, a poet selects and introduces another poet whom they have particularly admired. Ted Hughes's classic selection of Sylvia Plath's poetry provides the perfect introduction to a major body of work in twentieth-century poetry. Hughes draws upon the collectionsAriel, The Colossus, Crossing the Waterand Winter Trees, and from Sylvia Plath's Pulitzer Prize-winningCollected Poems.
