Sylvia Plath

The response of one writer to the work of another can be doubly illuminating. In this series, a poet selects and introduces another poet whom they have particularly admired. Ted Hughes''s classic selection of Sylvia Plath''s poetry provides the perfect introduction to a major body of work in twentieth-century poetry.

Hughes draws upon the collections Ariel, The Colossus, Crossing the Water and Winter Trees, and from Sylvia Plath''s Pulitzer Prize-winning Collected Poems.
