NC Poetry Out Loud 2009 - "Blackberrying" by Sylvia Plath

[zerocoolct]

good reading. Sylvia Plath is not one of my favourite poets and she did kill herself so the poetry couldn't save her. But nonetheless good effort

I agree i did this poem for the oklahoma state finals and i read it as if i was scared i wish i could post my reading of it hopefully one day soon i will

I think she says it with almost too much joy; she says it like she wants it to happen. Like the line "One more hook and the berries and bushes end" she says like she wants them to end, when the poem is sadder and more desperate tham she makes it sound. I don't think she reflects the depression and desperation of Plath in this reading.
