  • Sylvia Plath (October 27, 1932 - February 11, 1963) was an American poet, novelist, and short-story writer. She is credited with advancing the genre of confessional poetry and is best known for two of her published collections, The Colossus and Other Poems (1960) and Ariel (1965), as well as The Bell Jar, a semi-autobiographical novel published shortly before her death in 1963. The Collected Poems were published in 1981, which included previously unpublished works. For this collection Plath was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in Poetry in 1982, making her the fourth to receive this honor posthumously.

    Not to undermine this documentary, but saying 'Ted Hughes helped Sylvia find her voice' (even creatively) makes it seem like she didn't have one without him, maybe those experiences helped her evolve, change..but that voice WAS/IS her own, her experiences, her world and her life. I think she had an extraordinary ability to deeply feel things and transmute pain into a form of art.

      She didn’t hate her, she was close to them and told what she knew.

    Alvarez is a fabulous advocate for Sylvia, perhaps because he was, like her, a mental illness sufferer.

    Hughes had a penchant for mentally unstable women. He is not responsible for Plath’s killing herself. A healthy person would leave…and rebuild her life. I have gone through very challenging times and did not become depressed or killed myself. I am so sick of unadultered adulation.
