Synopsis "Sylvia Plath Poems Chosen by Carol ann Duffy"

Sylvia Plath was one of the defining voices of the twentieth century, and one of the most appealing: few other poets have introduced as many new readers to poetry. The poems in this fresh and inviting edition were chosen by Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy.In my selection, which is roughly chronological to shadow her progress, I have tried to walk through the landscape of Sylvia Plath's poetry as though for the first time, fifty years older than I was when she died. In doing so I have experienced afresh the almost physical excitement I felt when I first read this bold, brilliant, brave poet who changed the world of poetry for us all. - Carol Ann Duffy

Sylvia Plath (Boston, 27 de octubre de 1932-Londres, 11 de febrero de 1963) fue una escritora y poeta estadounidense. Considerada una de las cultivadoras del género de la poesía confesional, sus obras más conocidas son sus poemarios El coloso y Ariel y su novela semiautobiográfica La campana de cristal, publicada bajo el seudónimo de «Victoria Lucas» cuatro meses antes de su suicidio. Estuvo casada con el poeta Ted Hughes, quien tras su muerte se encargó de la edición de su poesía completa. En 1982 ganó un Premio Pulitzer póstumo por sus Poemas completos.
Nacida en Boston, Massachusetts, Plath estudió en la Smith College de Massachusetts y, tras recibir una Beca Fullbright, en la Newnham College de Cambridge.
