"Sylvia Plath's last poems have impressed themselves on many readers
with the force of myth. They are among the handful of writings by which
future generations will seek to know us and give us a name." -- The
Critical Quarterly
Sylvia Plath's celebrated collection.
When Sylvia Plath died, she not only left behind a prolific oeuvre but
also her unpublished literary masterpiece, Ariel. Ted Hughes helped
bring the collection to life in 1966, and its publication garnered
worldwide acclaim. This collection showcases the beloved poet's
brilliant, provoking, and always moving poems, including "Ariel," "The
Applicant," "Lady Lazarus," and "Edge", and once again shows why readers
have fallen in love with her work over generations.
