Paperback. Zustand: Good. "Crossing the Water, a collection of poems written just prior to those in Ariel, . . . is of immense importance in recording [Plath's] extraordinary development. One senses on every page a voice coming into its own, the chaos of a lifetime at last getting ready to assume its final, triumphant shape."  -- Kirkus Reviews Sylvia Plath's extraordinary poetry collection pushes the envelope between dark and light, between our deep passions and desires that are often in tension with our duty to family and society. In these powerful poems about identity, water becomes a metaphor for the surface veneer that many of us carry, but Plath explores how easily this surface can be shaken and disturbed. What lies beneath that fragile surface? Confessional Poetry: Experience the raw, intimate poems that bridge the gap between The Colossus and the legendary Ariel, capturing a voice on the verge of its final, triumphant shape. Poems about Nature: From the bleak horizons of 'Wuthering Heights' to the haunting allure of 'Blackberrying,' discover a natural world that mirrors the soul's own landscape. Unforgettable Imagery: Venture into a world of black lakes, silver mirrors, and white hospitals, where everyday objects are infused with startling, and often unsettling, significance. A Pivotal Work: A must-read collection from one of the most important and influential women writers of the 20th century, exploring the tensions between desire, duty, and identity with fierce intelligence.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. "[Plath's] story is stirring, in sneaky, unexpected ways. . . . Look carefully and there's a new angle here -- on how, and why, we read Plath today."-- Parul Sehgal, New York Times Never before published, this newly discovered short story by literary legend Sylvia Plath is a remarkable allegorical tale about a young woman's rebellion against convention and the forceful taking control of her own life. Written while Sylvia Plath was a student at Smith College in 1952, Mary Ventura and The Ninth Kingdom is a compelling coming of age story about a young woman's fateful train journey. Lips the color of blood, the sun an unprecedented orange, train wheels that sound like "guilt, and guilt, and guilt": these are just some of the things Mary Ventura begins to notice on her journey to the ninth kingdom. "But what is the ninth kingdom?" she asks a kind-seeming lady in her carriage. "It is the kingdom of the frozen will," comes the reply. "There is no going back." This strange, dark tale of female agency and independence, a powerful work of psychological fiction written not long after she herself left home, grapples with mortality in motion.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. "Made up of poems that are so original in their style and so startlingly accomplished in their confessional voice that they helped change the direction of contemporary poetry, Ariel is a masterpiece."  -- New York Observer Sylvia Plath's famous collection, as she intended it. When Sylvia Plath died, she not only left behind a prolific life but also her unpublished literary masterpiece, Ariel. When her husband, Ted Hughes, first brought this collection to the public, it garnered worldwide acclaim, but it wasn't the draft Sylvia had wanted her readers to see. This facsimile edition restores, for the first time, Plath's original manuscript--including handwritten notes--and her own selection and arrangement of poems. This edition also includes in facsimile the complete working drafts of her poem "Ariel," which provide a rare glimpse into the creative process of a beloved writer. This publication introduces a truer version of Plath's works, and will alter her legacy forever.…

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Pulitzer Prize winner Sylvia Plath's complete poetic works, edited and introduced by Ted Hughes.By the time of her death on 11, February 1963, Sylvia Plath had written a large bulk of poetry. To my knowledge, she never scrapped any of her poetic efforts. With one or two exceptions, she brought every piece she worked on to some final form acceptable to her, rejecting at most the odd verse, or a false head or a false tail. Her attitude to her verse was artisan-like: if she couldn't get a table out of the material, she was quite happy to get a chair, or even a toy. The end product for her was not so much a successful poem, as something that had temporarily exhausted her ingenuity. So this book contains not merely what verse she saved, but--after 1956--all she wrote. -- Ted Hughes, from the Introduction.…
