SYLVIA PLATH AND ME
Up until about five years ago, the idea of having to read or write poetry filled me with dread.
Mostly I found it boring or difficult or uninspiring.
Then in my final year of high school one of my teachers pointed me towards Sylvia Plath,
And I totally fell in love with her writing,
Which is sharp and funny and dark at the same time.
Like Margaret Atwood, sometimes you can read a single line in a poem of hers and feel as though
You've just heard your entire life repeated back to you/
If you haven't read any Sylvia Plath stuff before, you're in for a treat.
Below are a number of my favourite poems of hers.
I will add more to this list often
I hope you enjoy them.
