The story of Sylvia Plath just reinforces my deep-seated belief that 'where there is tragedy, there is art'. I have, as of yet, not once encountered a 'happy poet'. Poetry shall always remain a far superior form of literature, as opposed to the composition of fiction, non fiction, plays and scripts for movies. When I read a poem, I am gazing deep into the hidden chambers of the author's tortured soul - chambers that hide some mysterious secret, yearning to break free from the confines that civilization often imposes on humanity. Poetry comes from the heart. To understand poetry, one must be able to 'read between the lines'. When I read Sylvia Plath's poems, I not only read between the lines; I dive, head first, into its troubled waters - J. Papastamos |

I wish other poetry lovers could actually spell things right.
Sylvia Plath is amazing. I love the Poem 'Crossing the River'. It is beautiful, but it's not uncommon to find something that she has written to be beautiful.
She may have not gotten treatment because of the fear that she could lose her poetic skills if she did. If this is the case, she may have died for her cause, which is incredible. |

My Literal lover
For Sylvia Plath
I think I have fallen
for a dead poetess she
is dark and fraught with
bleeding flowers and
Nazi symbolism and
bags full of god and
other equally striking
metaphors for heaven.
She was exquisite with
language drawing sighs
and laughter and tears
but it is not about her
story, which was tragic,
it is her way on the page
that blushes in my mind
simple yet so complex.
She enthuses me with her
voice she speaks through me
into the empty room simply
knowing her words is not
sufficient I must hear them.
No living woman could give
what she has left me with.
Love in a literal sense is much
much more fulfilling than all
that over rated pushing and
waiting for the phone to stop.

Sylvia Plath is an exellent poet, but did anyone else notice that some of her poems are missing?
e.g. Dirge For A Joker |

Sylvia Plath wrote with anger and intensity. One doesn't even have to read between the lines to notice this. Where there is tragedy, there is art. Sylvia Path was a true, genuine lyric poet; and her poems reflect a truth, about as genuine, that poets are destined to suffer at the hands of fate - thepoetineye |
