Sylvia Plath: Collected Poems

Containing all the famous poems created by Plath from 1956 until her death, edited, annotated and prefaced by her husband, the British Poet Laureate Ted Hughes, this book won the 1981 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, and is also the most comprehensive poem collection of the author.

Plath's poems contain strong imagery and almost every single poem has elements sufficient to sketch a vivid post-modernist painting.

The images portrayed by Plath's poems can be grand and desolate, or e grotesque and playful, but almost all of them have implied and restrained sadness hidden. Because these are flowing freely from a sad soul.
