Yes, Ted cheated on Sylvia, as he did on every woman he was ever with, a life time cheater.
When this book was published just before he died, his love shines through and he started writing these just after her death.
Why!? It‘s fascinated me since my teens. This set of poems is the other side of the scales to Ariel. I read both in one sitting in awe of their art.

Kalalalatja I might do as you did, and read them side by side. Once I get around to buying them, that is 😄 6y
TrishB @Kalalalatja there was about 15 years between my first reads- but they just balance each other now I think. But poetry is always very personal isn‘t it. 6y

Kalalalatja Ah, I read that the wrong way. But yes, poetry is so personal! I often find the “quality” of a collection depends more on how it makes me feel rather than what is actually written, if that makes sense? 6y
