Ann Sexton or Sylvia Plath?
| << Previous |
plath. she moves mountains.
in a world of over-medicated persons, plath delivers what modern medicine cannot... a look into the life of a person without the use of modern medication. "the bell jar" delivers an insight into the world of the depressed woman, then and now. having been in a depressed state for most of my life, sylvia plath gives me a world in which someone "understands".
she did not end her life on a good note, but for those in need of understanding and not just "a good read", plath offers a shoulder to lean on... a possible much needed cry.
her metaphor and use of grammar to convey her life and loss is at it's peak.
sylvia's poetry is wonderful, if that is what you are looking for. but her novels, short stories, letters, and prose can send you to a place where even the average person feels a kinship with this tortured soul.
