A beautiful hardcover selection the best-loved poems of Pulitzer Prize–winner Sylvia Plath, author of The Bell Jar . AN EVERYMAN'S LIBRARY POCKET POET. Sylvia Plath’s tragically abbreviated career as a poet began with work that was, in the words of one of her teachers, Robert Lowell, “formidably expert.” It ended with a group of poems published after her suicide in 1963 which are, in the nakedness of their confessions, in their black humor, in their ferocious honesty about what people do to one another and to themselves, among the most harrowing lyrics in the English language—poems in which a magnificent, exquisitely disciplined literary gift has been brought to bear upon the unbearable. In these transfiguring poems, Plath managed the rarest of feats: she changed the direction and orientation of an art form. This Everyman’s Library Pocket Poets edition includes: • “Lady Lazarus” • “Daddy” • “Morning Song” • “Tulips” • “The Moon and the Yew Tree” • “Ariel” • “Poppies in October” • “Death & Co.” Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a jewel-toned jacket.

Lovely addition to any library
Like others in the Everyman's Library Pocket Poets- lovely little book bound well and includes Plaths greatest works. Dust jacket is very pleasing and it looks great on the shelf too, definitely a book that looks nice on display whether a coffee table or bookshelf.

A must have if you love Sylvia Plath..
I like the smaller size of the book. It has many great poems in it. They are seperated into sections based on different time periods of her life which I also liked.

Plath's Poignant Poems.
What can I say, there is just not enough of Sylvia Plath in the world. Plath was the most extreme, deeply and harshly honest writer that I have ever read. Her words are raw and cut deep. If you haven't read her poems, do yourself a favor and treat yourself to them. Your life will be much better having read them.

Incredible
It's worthy of buying. The book itself it's quite well made, but unfortunately some pages were sticked to each other, so I got a little bit disappointed. But, overall, it's a very, very beautiful book - not only physically. Sylvia Plath's work is wonderful.
