    Delivered In Pristine Condition
  

*by T***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 17, 2023*

I am looking forward to seeing Plath's active work on her poems after just having read her biography, Red Comet and her only novel, The Bell Jar.

    Fascinating.
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 14, 2023*

I find Sylvia Plath's poetry fascinating. She uses interesting word choices. Her poetry is raw and emotional. I want to reread these poems.

    Just Read Her Poetry, Let Her Stop "Standing" For Things...
  

*by M***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 7, 2014*

This collection, and Plath in general I think, get both unfairly burdened and paradoxically minimized.So many readers want Plath to mean and to be so many things. Ultimately, this hagiography leads to diminishing the depth of her art to a patina of idiot wind like "feminist," "confessional," and "obsessed with her Daddy/Elektra stuff."All of which has unfortunately kept me away from deeply reading Plath for so long. Interestingly, I came to re-read this collection (or really, in my mind, to read it now for the first time) only because I was reading and LOVING the collected poems of Ted Hughes. He was simply blowing my mind---so I read a bit about him, and though I knew he was married to Plath and a bit about the soap operatic story of his second wife, I never appreciated how much HE, this awe inspiring genius poet stood in total awe of Plath's work. If he was that impressed, I had to see what the fuss was about.And underneath all the expectations and labels, what it's about is DAMN good poetry. The collection starts off with "Morning Song," which is the most accurate, beautiful, sad, and perfect poem I've ever read about caring for children and caring for yourself when you're caring for children. The phrase I used when describing some of the lines to my wife was "inevitable." That's the highest compliment one poet can give another---it means that she didn't get CLOSE to the "truth" of what she was trying to say...she didn't "turn a clever phrase" or tell the truth "slant." She wrote PERFECT words and lines. They HAVE TO be that way. She said it the best it can be said. Done.Luckily for artists after her, she didn't do this ALL the time (who could?) While MANY of the poems in Ariel are inevitable, some miss. Some still hold on to Plath's earlier style in Colossus wherein she attacks the Thesaurus and pursues a sense of ambiguity to the point of producing coldness and vague, limpid lines.But do not be put off by these cautions or by any possible cliche or negative expectations---Plath was an intensely gifted and cosmically touched poet---Ariel roars.
