"I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
I think I made you up inside my head..."
Sylvia Plath has been, and probably always will be, a poet whose words hit me harder than many others' ever will. Many of the poems in this collection are very familiar to me: I've shed tears over them, adored them, resented them, analyzed them to death and absorbed their every message in my heart over the course of years now. I got to revisit some of my old favorites, which still haven't lost their magic over me.
Some of my favorites included in this collection are:
- Lady Lazarus (possibly Plath's most famous poem, and one of my all-time favorites)
- The Moon and the Yew-tree
- Elm
- Paralytic
- Edge
All of these are amazing poems in their own sense, but reading the collection as a whole helped me understand a bit more about Sylvia Plath as a person whom I absolutely adore.
