(P/B) SELECTED POEMS

Παρουσίαση

When Sylvia Plath's Ariel was published posthumously, A. Alvarez in the Observer wrote: 'If the poems are despairing, vengeful and destructive, they are at the same time tender, open to things, and also unusually clever, sardonic, hard-minded ... They are works of great artistic purity and, despite all the nihilism, great generosity ... the book is a major literary event'. This selection made by Ted Hughes from all her work shows that Sylvia Plath is clearly a major poet of the twentieth century. (From the publisher)
