Sylvia Plath is one of the defining voices in twentieth-century poetry. This classic selection of her work provides a suitable introduction to this most influential of poets. It includes poems that are taken from Sylvia Plath's four collections Ariel, The Colossus, Crossing the Water and Winter Trees.

When Sylvia Plath's Ariel was published posthumously, A. Alvarez in the Observer wrote: 'If the poems are despairing, vengeful and destructive, they are at the same time tender, open to things, and also unusually clever, sardonic, hard-minded ...They are works of great artistic purity and, despite all the nihilism, great generosity ...the book is a major literary event'. This selection made by Ted Hughes from all her work shows that Sylvia Plath is clearly a major poet of the twentieth century.
