Amazon.co.uk
Sylvia Plath died in 1963, and even now her outsize persona threatens to bury her poetry--the numerous biographies and studies often drawing the reader toward anecdote and away from the work. It's a relief to turn to the poems themselves and once more be jolted by their strange beauty, hard-wrought originality and acetylene anger. "It is a heart, / This holocaust I walk in, / O golden child the world will kill and eat." While the juvenilia and poems written before 1960 that Ted Hughes has included here prefigure Plath's later obsessions, they also enable us to witness her turn from thesaurus-heavy verse to stripped-down art as they gather power through raw simplicity. "The blood jet is poetry. / There is no stopping it," she declares in "Kindness."

Sylvia Plath was a woman with a whole lot of emotions and masks. Sometimes labeled as feminist, a victim, a martyr and a suicide... whether she was or was not these things, she forged a compelling new voice in the l960s America. (She did commit suicide in 1963.) She was perhaps ahead of her time. She is one of the most read American female poets of the 20th century and one of the most talented, as well. Her poems are the window to her soul, an extension of her life. (Some have labeled her as a "Confessional Poet", along with Anne Sexton and Adrienne Rich.) As great poets do, she has left us with a legacy of poems such as Lady Lazarus, Daddy and Mirror.
THE COLLECTED PLEMS OF SYLVIA PLATH is a collection of poems by Plath written between the years of 1956-1963. Also included are 50 early poems written by Plath, titled Juvenilia. With an introduction by her then husband Ted Hughes, who gives us some insights as to who Sylvia Plath was as a woman, poet, mother, and wife. (There are also notes on the poems at the end, written by Hughes.)
Plath's sometimes sad and painful poems tell us, what kind of person she was. Her flaws show us that she was indeed human and that her stark honesty touches me even more. Her struggle with her inner demons is often what characterizes her poems. The glimpse of her soul that we get through her poems, though it may have come from somewhere dark, is brutally beautiful.

there isn't much i can say about sylvia plath that hasn't already been said. this is a wonderful collection of poems by one of the greatest contemporary female poets. the later works are her best (1962-3), and it was nice to have seen some of her juvenalia. a must for a poetry lover

This book is the most complete collection of Sylvia Plath's poetry assembled in one volume. It is for this reason that it belongs almost as required reading, not just in American english programs, but in secondary schools everywhere. It's value lies in it's progression of a female poet and her journey towards finding her true voice. We see the early poems, methodically and skillfully written, shedding style after style of obvious influences through excercises of observation and perserverance. Through these verses, she explores and develops an intricate mythology; by the end, however, she has not lost us in her private world of symbolism and imagery, but enthralls us, heartbreakingly, through the mastery of her words. These last poems, that made up her final manuscript, are undisputedly some of the most moving and beautifully executed compositions of this past century. It is a wonderful book, one that forever changes the way the reader interprets art and the world around him that inspires it.
