    Arlo Parks and dare I say Lana Del Ray led me to this. "To the same place, the same face, the same brute" is a line I possibly will never forget

    Every word of Slyvia Plath's Lady Lazaurs ressonate with me. Your work deserves to be seen by everyone who love poetry and philosophy. It would be great if you would do one for Emily Dickson's poems.

    In my moments of deepest despair and loneliness I find solace in poetry and art. I am far from Sylvia Plath in both life and experiences but few have spoken to the deepest parts of myself like she has. In the end all of us will be united in common experiences but so few of us ever allow that notion to connect us like it should.

    Your understanding of the profundity of Sylvia Plath is brought together with images and a sonic sensitivity that truly honors the greatest of poets as if emerging from the feeling depths of the Heart of Being.

      That’s a wonderful message Sunil. I’m very happy for you. Here’s the trick to writing poetry - never stop…
      Take care for now Sunil.

    In the October of 1962, in the same month that she wrote 'Daddy' (which you can view here: th-cam.com/video/RwgKxOpFdaE/w-d-xo.html) Sylvia Plath crafted one of her most brilliant pieces of poetry 'Lady Lazarus' using Christian religious symbolism to compare herself to the biblical Lazarus (who died and was raised), and superimposing it with the Nazi motif that she used in 'Daddy', highlighting her persecution at the hands of a man (and men) of tyranny. Along with 'Daddy', 'Lady Lazarus' was written in what is often said to be her most creative burst of energy, just four months prior to her suicide.

    Her car crash happened a few months prior where she probably hit her face on the steering wheel, most likely the result of finding out about the affair. Read the poem again and think about that, seriously. Your Welcome

      Sylvia had a scar on her face when she met Hughes. She explained to him that it was the result of a suicide attempt.

      @@gavinreid2741 I was referring to were she says my face A featureless fine Jew linen, as Jew linen is a way to refer to gauze and she would have had her face wrapped in gauze if she bludgeoned it on the steering wheel in an accident. There seem to be many other references to the car crash "suicide attempt" in this poem, like her foot being a paper weight, but its poetry so its left open to interpretation so people can pull their own meanings and theories out of it.

      @@in3briatedclown845 in the biblical story of Lazarus his body is wrapped in Jew linen before he was buried. She ironically identifies more with the Lazarus that spent 4 days buried rather than the one that came back, as if to say that she already feels dead.
