Being a 42 year old reader and writer of poetry since the age of 17 and only now reading Sylvia Plath feels like having played electric guitar since then and only now hearing Jimi Hendrix. It’s amazing. She was a far better poet than her husband who wrote great poems. But... Sylvia just completely slays.

Difficult to read too many of these poems at once. They are fierce. And fiercely good.
