Sylvia Plath

The response of one writer to the work of another can be doubly illuminating. In this series, a poet selects and introduces another poet whom they have particularly admired. Ted Hughes's classic selection of Sylvia Plath's poetry provides the perfect introduction to a major body of work in twentieth-century poetry.<br><br> Hughes draws upon the collections <i>Ariel, The Colossus, Crossing the Water </i>and<i> Winter Trees</i>, and from Sylvia Plath's Pulitzer Prize-winning <i>Collected Poems</i><i>.</i>
