Sylvia Plath
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Sylvia Plath has been described as having an artisan-like attitude toward her work: "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." To avoid criticism for being overly emotional or sentimental, her early poems were frequently governed by disguise, oftentimes giving the impression of a divided self. In later poems, her poetic voice carries multilayers of intense emotion and a quality of unapologetic anger seldom found in women's poetry prior to her time.
