Summary: The Best of the Best!
Comment: I love poetry, and this every poetry lover's fantasy. Having a volume of one of the best poet's ever almost complete collection. This is a book that I treasure, all the poems are masterpieces, and so beautiful. No one will ever write or think like Sylvia Plath again. This is a must-have for all of her fans. I own many poetry volumes--and this has to be my favorite. I would definitely recommend this--it was well deserving of 5 stars, and even people who aren't big fans of poetry have no choice but to love "The Collected Poems" by Sylvia Plath.

Summary: Collection details Plath's formidable talent.
Comment: This book is the most complete collection of Sylvia Plath's poetry assembled in one volume. It is for this reason that it belongs almost as required reading, not just in American english programs, but in secondary schools everywhere. It's value lies in it's progression of a female poet and her journey towards finding her true voice. We see the early poems, methodically and skillfully written, shedding style after style of obvious influences through excercises of observation and perserverance. Through these verses, she explores and develops an intricate mythology; by the end, however, she has not lost us in her private world of symbolism and imagery, but enthralls us, heartbreakingly, through the mastery of her words. These last poems, that made up her final manuscript, are undisputedly some of the most moving and beautifully executed compositions of this past century. It is a wonderful book, one that forever changes the way the reader interprets art and the world around him that inspires it.

Summary: Repitition as a Momentary Stay
Comment: Liam Rector in a poetry class taught at Bennnington College said to me to read Plath for the vowels. I did and she is amazing. Sylvia Plath probably gave more to poetics with her vowels sounds than any other poet and her poem Daddy does it best.
I add a poem of mine here in honor of Sylvia Plath:
Repitition as a Momentary Stay
When you told me just do it
after we talked about structure,
my story remained: love, betrayal, revenge.
Is this my fate told over
to the groove of vinyl, the turn
of the page, the return in verse?
To feel the surge of another life,
its endocrine bringing me back to
tone that gives mood moving out of my flesh
not from cold air, but tingling like
Braille. Who knew vowels could enter
the pulse in counterpoint.
