pickSylvia Plath reading some of her poems and talking about her work. And it‘s wonderful how she reads them, I love her poetry that is full of stark, sharp imagery.
Extract from Candles by Sylvia Plath
--------------
They are the last romantics, these candles:
Upside-down hearts of light tipping wax fingers,
And the fingers, taken in by their own haloes,
Grown milky, almost clear, like the bodies of saints.

pickThis made me want to dust off my journal and write poetry again.
Hemphill was very creative in telling about the life of Sylvia Plath.
Each section contained facts about Plath and then a poem imagining what the people in Sylvia's life might have been thinking and feeling at the time.
Many of Hemphill's poems were written in the style of Plath's poems.
Very unique! I loved it.
pickI found this collection to be so moving. Sylvia Plath is one of my favorite authors and there werenso many poems that touched me in this collection. Highly recommend this one. #poetrymatters
