Sylvia Plath was one of the defining voices of twentieth-century poetry & one of the most appealing: few other poets have introduced as many new readers to poetry. Though she published just one collection in her lifetime The Colossus" & a novel " The Bell Jar" it was following her death in 1963 that her work began to garner the wider audience that it deserved. The manuscript that she left behind Ariel was published in 1965 under the editorship of her former husband Ted Hughes as were two later volumes " Crossing the Water" & " Winter Trees" in 1971 which helped to make Sylvia Plath a household name. Hughes careful curation of Plaths work extended to a " Collected Poems" & a " Selected Poems" in the 1980s which remain in print today & stand testimony to the profound respect that Frieda Hughes said her father had for her mothers work. It was not until the publication of a restored " Ariel" in 2004 that readers were able to appraise Plaths own selection & arrangement of her work. This edition of the poems chosen by the Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy offers a fresh selection of Sylvia Plaths poetry to stand in parallel to the existing editions. Introduced with an inviting preface the book is essential reading for those new to & already familiar with the work of this most extraordinary poet." ...
