"Sylvia Plath... at last I'll spell your name right >_The Bell Jar and the last of these poems with the hope that I'll have an epiphany.
If I were a formalist, I might give this one star. If I were a feminist, I might want to give this five stars. If I were someone who had read the poems, who had felt the way I do, I'd think there aren't enough angles nor colours in the stars to express my conflict on the literary quality of Sylvia Plath's poetry. Because I am all of these, I find the only thing I can do inside the criteria is give three stars."
"What can be said about this tome? It's one of my absolute favourites, one of the poetry collections that has followed me across the continents over the years, with my sprawling notes gathering in the margins. It is the most complete overview on Plath's poetry, and whereas I'm not the fondest fan of Plath's early work, I am very fond of Crossing the Water and Winter Trees' poems, which shine next to their chronological cousins. This collection shows the bewitching development of one of the world's greatest poets, whose mastery of the unexpected metaphor and the dazzling word choice is second to none. Whereas many herald the well-known poems as Lady Lazarus and Daddy, I recommend some of the hidden gems of this collection. A brilliant book for reading at once or dipping into."
"Sylvia Plath remains a forceful voice speaking to the heart. Her works are as fresh as they were decades ago. I first read her poems more than ten years ago as a college student and I was touched by the sincerity and emotive quality of her verse. I am still touched by her words today."
