& me!
Thank you Emily. So important to challenge the casual assumptions made by others (including Hughes) about Plath's hard work and huge achievements as a writer.
Every time I read your words ( and Gail's) I feel closer to her poetry and her novel. Can't wait to read the book. Thanks for this.
So glad to have discovered your corner of Substack. I find myself turning to Plath's breathtaking poetry more and more of late. Here's a post I did on her poem "Crossing the Water": https://open.substack.com/pub/arniesabatelli/p/crossing-the-water?r=1nwa2p&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
Fantastic piece, I nodded along to all your points. It also makes me want to re read The Bell Jar. Thanks for writing this.
