![]() Vincent Millay’s biography, which I also liked a lot.Ī deep dive into the life and writing of Sylvia Plath, as dictated by her environment. This fell into a similar vein of Edna St. You’re going to learn so much about who Sylvia was as a person, and, if you’re a writer, you might get inspired by her story and the passages contained within the book. ![]() I picked one up at my local Barnes & Nobles with a copy of The Copenhagen Trilogy-which I also highly recommend (Tove was another confessional female writer who also had a tragic end)-and got to work right where I left off.Īt 1,100 pages, it took me a long time to scale this mountain, but, trust me, if you’re into Sylvia Plath or American women’s poetry in the 1950s and 1960s, there are some gems in here. I originally started reading a PDF I had on a flight to San Diego while simultaneously listening, but about two sections into the book, I realized I needed a physical copy. Until one day I saw this book reviewed in The New York Times and knew I had to get a copy. I thought I knew Sylvia, but had never actually read a biography about her because there really wasn’t one that caught my eye. ![]() I have always thought that she was such a brave woman for writing about what she wrote about in the era she lived in, especially because I knew that many people often romanticized her just because of the way she ended: her suicide. Ever since I was in high school, I have been in love with the poet Sylvia Plath. ![]()
