Sylvia Plath began keeping a diary as a young child. By the time she was at Smith College, when this book begins, she had settled into a nearly daily routine with her journal, which was also a sourcebook for her writing. Plath once called her journal her “Sargasso,” her repository of imagination, “a litany of dreams, directives, and imperatives,” and in fact these pages contain the germs of most of her work. Plath’s ambitions as a writer were urgent and ultimately all-consuming, requiring of her a heat, a fantastic chaos, even a violence that burned straight through her. The intensity of this struggle is rendered in her journal with an unsparing clarity, revealing both the frequent desperation of her situation and the bravery with which she faced down her demons. Written in electrifying prose, The Journals of Sylvia Plath provide unique insight, and are essential reading for all those who have been moved and fascinated by Plath’s life and work.
The collection showcases the powerful and poignant verse of a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, known for her intense emotional depth and artistic brilliance. Through brutally honest self-exploration, the poems—such as "Lady Lazarus" and "Daddy"—reflect personal tragedy while resonating with universal themes. Plath's work continues to shape contemporary poetry, leaving a lasting impact with its raw intensity and vivid imagery.
Sylvia Plath's letters, primarily to her mother, span from her time at Smith College in the early 1950s to her suicide in 1963. They reveal her ability for both domestic joy and literary fulfillment, while also hinting at her profound despair.
