Sylvia's art

Has anyone read the book EYE RHYMES? It focuses on Sylvia's early passion for art and drawing, with several excellent examples of her work.

I know the comm. is pretty much dead as of late (which is very sad) but I felt like posting for the first time, since today would have been her 79th birthday.

Sylvia poster

Inspired by this blog post, I now want a Plath poster for my room, preferably of the poet herself. Do you know of anywhere I can find it?

Does anyone here have a Sylvia inspired poster or other decoration item in their room?

Ouija

I was reading a passage in SP's journals in which she and Ted try the Ouija board for the first time in America.

Has any of you tried to communicate with Sylvia through Ouija?

‘Your wife is dead’: Lost Ted Hughes poem about Sylvia Plath’s suicide published

sweetheartdays wrote in sylvia_plath Oct 08, 2010 22:35

A poem by Ted Hughes, considered lost, was published today in The New Statesman magazine after being discovered in the British Museum among his papers. In it, Hughes addresses the painful suicide of his wife, Sylvia Plath. The poem, written in the 70s, would seem to be the “missing link” from Hughes’ 1998 book about his marriage to Plath, Birthday ( Read more... )

THE BELL JAR~

Has anyone read The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath? In the book she mentioned reading this story about a fig tree with the Jewish man and the nun or something like that? Does anyone know what story this is and who wrote it?
