Sylvia Plath
Sylvia Plath's famous collection, as she intended it. When Sylvia Plath died, she not only left behind a prolific life but also her unpublished literary masterpiece, Ariel. When her husband, Ted Hughes, first brought this collection to life, it garnered worldwide acclaim, though it wasn't the draft Sylvia had wanted her readers to see. This facsimile edition restores, for the first time, Plath's original manuscript -- including handwritten notes -- and her own selection and arrangement of poems. This edition also includes in facsimile the complete working drafts of her poem "Ariel," which provide a rare glimpse into the creative process of a beloved writer. This publication introduces a truer version of Plath's works, and will no doubt alter her legacy forever.This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.

"DNF about 70/90 pages in. 1 star at most.
I love poetry, but this did nothing for me. The rhythm and structure was hardly there. The words itself were so randomly priced together than I got no meaning out of these poems. On the few occasions where I thought I might finally understand (let alone enjoy) one of the poems, Sylvia Plath’s blatant racism shows & turns me off the read. I heard this was accurate representation of mental illness, and as someone with several severe diagnoses I was excited to read this. It was also recommended to me by a friend from my poetry classes. However, this is the first book I’ve ever spent money on that I wish I never bought or read. I Wasted time, wasted money, and more importantly Plath wasted paper and wasted words. "
