Paperback. Etat : Good. "Crossing the Water, a collection of poems written just prior to those in Ariel, . . . is of immense importance in recording [Plath's] extraordinary development. One senses on every page a voice coming into its own, the chaos of a lifetime at last getting ready to assume its final, triumphant shape."  -- Kirkus Reviews Sylvia Plath's extraordinary poetry collection pushes the envelope between dark and light, between our deep passions and desires that are often in tension with our duty to family and society. In these powerful poems about identity, water becomes a metaphor for the surface veneer that many of us carry, but Plath explores how easily this surface can be shaken and disturbed. What lies beneath that fragile surface? Confessional Poetry: Experience the raw, intimate poems that bridge the gap between The Colossus and the legendary Ariel, capturing a voice on the verge of its final, triumphant shape. Poems about Nature: From the bleak horizons of 'Wuthering Heights' to the haunting allure of 'Blackberrying,' discover a natural world that mirrors the soul's own landscape. Unforgettable Imagery: Venture into a world of black lakes, silver mirrors, and white hospitals, where everyday objects are infused with startling, and often unsettling, significance. A Pivotal Work: A must-read collection from one of the most important and influential women writers of the 20th century, exploring the tensions between desire, duty, and identity with fierce intelligence.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. "It is this perfectly wrought prose and the freshness of Plath's voice in The Bell Jar that make this book enduring in its appeal."--USA Today "As clear and readable as it is witty and disturbing."--New York Times Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar, a poignant exploration of a young woman's struggle to navigate modern life and womanhood in mid-century America, is her seminal work and an enduring classic that has proven to be just as relevant today as it was when originally published in 1963. Esther Greenwood--brilliant, beautiful, and enormously talented--is about to embark on what should be the most exciting season of her life: a summer spent in New York City, interning for a magazine. But even though the life that is unfurling before her is everything she wants, she feels apart from it, unable to live in her life the way the other girls staying at the women's hotel seem able to do. And the further apart she feels from the noise and color of life around her, especially after she returns home to Massachusetts, the more she begins to collapse in on herself, slowly slipping farther and farther beneath the waves of her despair as treatment after treatment proves ineffectual. Sylvia Plath masterfully draws the reader into Esther's mind with such intensity that her breakdown feels visceral and real, one that makes the early days of her recovery feel even more fragile. Plath's exploration into the darkest and most harrowing corners of the psyche is an extraordinary accomplishment and has made The Bell Jar a haunting American classic.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. Pulitzer Prize winner Sylvia Plath's complete poetic works, edited and introduced by Ted Hughes.By the time of her death on 11, February 1963, Sylvia Plath had written a large bulk of poetry. To my knowledge, she never scrapped any of her poetic efforts. With one or two exceptions, she brought every piece she worked on to some final form acceptable to her, rejecting at most the odd verse, or a false head or a false tail. Her attitude to her verse was artisan-like: if she couldn't get a table out of the material, she was quite happy to get a chair, or even a toy. The end product for her was not so much a successful poem, as something that had temporarily exhausted her ingenuity. So this book contains not merely what verse she saved, but--after 1956--all she wrote. -- Ted Hughes, from the Introduction.…
