this might be generally off-topic for the site, but I thought I'd post anyway. I've been thinking/reading/listen a lot about Larry "Wildman" Fischer lately after seeing the documentary about him on Sundance channel, and a lot of it put me in mind of Sylvia. I admit, only because I am such a big fan of hers ( Read more... )

I have a few thoughts I'd like to share with fellow Plath fans, regarding the whole Ted Hughes controversy and also regarding Sylvia's mental health.
( cut for length, would love to discuss! )

What would Plath do?

Or rather, what influenced Plath? It's actually something I think about a bit - Plath is a fantastic poet, and one of the most brilliant aspects of her work is just how literary it is.

Hey guys...I'm new here.

An admirer of the enigmatic work of Sylvia Plath and the woman herself.

I would like to make a request of the audiobook for 'The Bell Jar' if anyone has it as it is one of my most favourite books.

Thank you in advance.

I'm in London at the moment and planning to visit Plath's grave soon. Does anyone have any tips (places to stay, etc) or suggestions for what else to do?

Just a question: Does anyone like ted hughes? I seriously have a huge huge disliking for him.
I dont understand how he can even consider ever having put in two cents in about sylvia when he hurt her so much. I know Some people like him I'm sure but not many I hope.

I am a professor at Brown and I am working on preparing my fall course syllabus for a class I am teaching that is strictly only about Sylvia Plath (I am beyond ecstatic to be teaching this class) I was wondering if any of you have an ideas for questions/class discussions and or writing assignments based off of Bell Jar.... I have a few ideas ( Read more... )

Could anyone here help me out by directing me to the origins of this Plath quote?
“Is there no way out of the mind?”
I've searched and searched, but so far only seen it quoted, without any indication as to where or when it was said / written, and in what context.
Much appreciated!

I hope this follows community rules, if nto please delete, but this quote or poem by Sylvia has been lingering in my mind and I cant find it anywhere so I was wondering if you guys could help me. It was talking about how there are two women in her, one that longs for a family and one that was a free spirit....it basically just talked about how ( Read more... )
