Ariel by Sylvia Plath
The poems in Sylvia Plath's Ariel, including many of her best-known such as 'Lady Lazarus', 'Daddy', 'Edge' and 'Paralytic', were all written between the publication in 1960 of Plath's first book, The Colossus, and her death in 1963. 'If the poems are despairing, vengeful and destructive, they are at the same time tender, open to things, and also unusually clever, sardonic, hardminded . . . They are works of great artistic purity and, despite all the nihilism, great generosity . . . the book is a major literary event.' A. Alvarez in the Observer This beautifully designed edition forms part of a series with five other cherished poets, including Wendy Cope, Don Paterson, Philip Larkin, Simon Armitage and Alice Oswald.
Sylvia Plath was born in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1932. She graduated from Smith College in 1955 and went on a Fulbright scholarship to Cambridge University, where she met and later married Ted Hughes. In her lifetime she published one novel, The Bell Jar (1963), and one volume of poetry, The Colossus (1960).
