Dear Readers! Dear Plathians! Dear ones who have been reading this newsletter for three years, waiting for me to finish this damn book— the time is upon us! In one month, on July 9, LOVING SYLVIA PLATH: A RECLAMATION will be in the world. I wanted to make a special announcement here today, for three reasons— first and foremost, to thank all of you for your support over the years. Knowing I have an audience of smart, kind, thoughtful people who love Plath as much as I do to bounce these ideas off of has meant the world to me, and helped push me over the finish line. Thank you! I am so glad all of you are in the world, and that soon, this book will be in the world with you.
Just stumbled upon this and it sounds right up my street. I read the massive bible sized biography on her last year and I’m struggling to put it in to words how I felt after but basically yes to this book and all it seeks to rectify and I can’t wait to read it!
Oh my gosh I cannot wait to read this!! I recently wrote an essay theorizing that Taylor Swift has been using Plath's life, writing, etc. as inspiration for (potentially) years! I'd love it if you'd give it a read (bear in mind I'm not "a writer", and not an expert on Plath as you).
There's another woman (who works/worked?) for Sotheby's (MA in fine art) comparing artworks and other literature to Swift's new album as well, so fascinating!

Thanks, Kate!! I will be very curious to hear what you think after reading both Red Comet and LSP. Please keep me posted!
Hello! Was just wondering if shipping would be available to the uk?
Hello! Thank you so much, and yes! The book is being published in the UK in August, so slightly later, but definitely available!

I just tried to order it through Womb House, but it won't ship to Canada; I'll order it from my local independent book store.
Hello! I am excited to read your essay— I think I saw a TikTok about this?? When her newest album came out.
Hi Emily! Just last week a friend turned my attention to a TikTok account as well!
