Ariel (Poetry Firsts Collection)Sylvia Plath
Gebundene Ausgabe
The poems in Sylvia Plath's Ariel, including many of her best-known such as ' Lady Lazarus', ' Daddy', ' Edge' and ' Paralytic', were all written between the publication in 1960 of Plath's first book, The Colossus, and her death in 1963. " If the poems are despairing, vengeful and destructive, they are at the same time tender, open to things, and also unusually clever, sardonic, hardminded . . . They are works of great artistic purity and, despite all the nihilism, great generosity . . . the book is a major literary event. " ( A. Alvarez in the Observer). This beautifully designed edition forms part of a series with five other cherished poets, including Wendy Cope, Don Paterson, Philip Larkin, Simon Armitage and Alice Oswald.
