Ariel: Perennial Classics Edition (Perennial Classics)
Sylvia Plath

Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 1999

Plath and motherhood
It seems every morbid well read teenage girl would carry a Sylvia Plath book around school, and I was one of them (I can't speak for the current Extreme Makeover, American Idol, online porn generation) Although I struck the Plath pose in high school, in all honesty I ...
  
  











  



  
Great Poems by American Women: An Anthology (Dover Thrift Editions)
Anne Bradstreet, Phillis Wheatley, ...

Dover Publications, 1998

For the Sentimentalists
I bought this Dover Thrift knowing that I would at least like a few of the poems, and even one great poem would be worth a measly dollar. These are poems that speak of the greatness of America, or the treachery of slavery, or other such things that bring tears to your ...
  
  











  



  
The Collected Poems
Sylvia Plath

Harper Perennial, 1992

Collection Tracks the Course of a Genius's Rise and Fall
Anyone who has not discovered Plath's poetry-- distinctly superior to her prose-- would be greatly served to seek out a slim volume called "Crossing the Water." This haunting collection features most of her greatest poems from what I think to be her most creative ...
  
  











  



  
Crossing the Water
Sylvia Plath

Harper Perennial, 1980

Truly transitional poems
This is probably my favorite collection of Plath poetry, although some of my favorite poems aren't in here (Morning Song is my very favorite). From the time I looked at the cover (dark waves at night, what could be better for the writer who crossed the Atlantic to die ...
  
  











  



  
The Bell Jar
Sylvia Plath

Bantam Books, 1972

The Bell Jar, Reviewed by Phoebe Young
Sylvia Plath's timeless novel The Bell Jar has without a doubt exceeded my high expectations. Her writing is nothing short of beautifully detailed, incredibly creative and downright genius. She, unlike other authors has the ability to keep her readers in such a way ...
  
  











  



  
The Colossus and Other Poems
Sylvia Plath

Vintage, 1998

Genius' Magnet
"Compelled by calamity's magnet/They loiter and stare" begins the poem "Aftermath" by Sylvia Plath in "The Colossus." In this striking collection of living language, Plath gives us a hearty portion of her verbose verse. "The Colossus and Other Poems" was written when ...
  
  











  



  
The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath
Sylvia Plath

Anchor, 2000

insightful
some college professor said that every single year, at least one out of a class full of girls studying sylvia plath will feel that she is sylvia plath reincarnated. what's funny is that after reading only a few pages, i absolutely understand why, to an almost ...
  
  











  



  
The Bell Jar
Sylvia Plath

Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2006

Why, oh, why was I reading Holden Caulfield when I should have been reading Esther Greenwood?
One might think that a novel about a young college woman's experience with madness in the mid-20th century would come across as dated or even quaint. On the contrary, as I read I found myself nodding emphatically, and even calling up friends to tell them about passages ...
  
  











  



  
Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams: Short Stories, Prose, and Diary Excerpts
Sylvia Plath

Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2000

a great poet with heart and soul
After falling in love with Sylvia Plath's works back in my high school days, I have read everything I can find on her or her work. She is inspiring and deep... keeping the imagery alive in every word she has written. I recommend Sylvia VERY highly, even her works for ...
  
  











  



  
The Bed Book
Sylvia Plath

Trophy, 1989

please, bring this book back!
Embark on a gentle, fantastic trip into a magical world that lies between reality and dream. Your child's imagination (and your own) will drift into sleep with images of acrobats, submarines, elephant beds, and so much more! That this book should be out of print is a ...
  
  











  



  
Sylvia Plath Reads

Caedmon, 2000

A special experience...
...to actually hear Sylvia Plath read her own work. The poems here are wonderful(the selections are taken from radio broadcasts, I think)and not surprisingly, the author's voice adds much more to their enjoyment. And it is an interesting voice: deep, with a slightly ...
  
  











  



  
Collected Children's Stories (Faber Children's Classics)
Sylvia Plath

Faber Children's Books, 2001
  
  











  



  
Plath: Poems (Everyman's Library Pocket Poets)
Sylvia Plath

Everyman's Library, 1998

This little book cannot be commended too highly
A really excellent selection by Diane Wood Middlebrook, includes almost all the important last poems ('Letter in November' is missing), and a good selection of the 1950s stuff. There is even some juvenilia and some of Ted Hughes' notes.
  
  











  



  
The Journals of Sylvia Plath
Sylvia Plath

Anchor, 1998

Real
Another reviewer wrote that this book was a big disappointment - that it stinks. How can one criticize someone's journals? I'm pretty sure Plath didn't expect these to be published one day - and so she didn't write them for the general public to read. These words are ...
