The Complete Poems of Sylvia Plath (revised Edition)
About This Novel
A newly revised version of the complete translation of Pulitzer Prize winner Sylvia Plath's poems, the "Marilyn Monroe of American literature", the tragic song of the soul of the ill-fated genius female poet. This book contains all 274 poems by Sylvia Plath, the famous contemporary American female poet and writer, and winner of the 1982 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. Plath's poems are full of strong imagery, and almost every poem contains enough elements to outline a distinct postmodernist painting. These combinations of pictures, which are more ethereal than reality but harsher than dreams, defy all logic, cause and effect and even the constraints of time and space without scruples, deconstructing the gods and Christ, sages and virgins. It seems unreasonable, but the anxiety, frustration and repressed desires conveyed by these absurd, inverted, time-space-inverted pictures are so heart-stopping and unforgettable that no pleasing color can match it. Some of the images Plath depicts in her poems are grand and desolate, some are grotesque and playful, but almost all of them contain a restrained sadness. For these flow freely from a grieving soul. Plath took her own life in 1963. In 1982, this female poet who died 19 years ago was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. This is rare in the history of the Pulitzer Prize. Plath's poetry is a miracle of the 20th century. Plath has thus become one of the most talked about tragic images in the history of poetry in the twentieth century.
