i love the way she says 'flew off like the hat of a doll'
that surely is the most upsetting image to see when you're a child.

Genius. Another of my favorite poets/writers. Makes me weep when I think of her sufferings & tragic end. Her work is just absolute perfection.
-
It is Plath's poetic recollection of the first and injudicious shock-treatment she underwent in the state hospital, preceding her first suicide attempt.
You also can try to read her novel The Bell Jar, in which she describes this period of her life. It will throw some light on her poems.

Her words are absolutely intoxicating, how she arranges words together like stars. I really love her poetry.
-
sigh. i want her to be here next to me reading this, dammit. how wonderful would that be.

My writing is profoundly influenced by Sylvia. She is a demon with words - she knows how to seduce you. I'm so glad I got to hear her voice, I never knew these were out there. Thanks so much for the share!
