This comprehensive volume contains all Sylvia Plath''s mature poetry written from 1956 up to her death in 1963. The poems are drawn from the only collection Plath published while alive, The Colossus, as well as from posthumous collections Ariel, Crossing the Water and Winter Trees.

The text is preceded by an introduction by Ted Hughes and followed by notes and comments on individual poems. There is also an appendix containing fifty poems from Sylvia Plath''s juvenilia.

This collection was awarded the 1981 Pulitzer Prize for poetry.

''For me, the most important literary event of 1981 has been the publication, eighteen years after her death, of Sylvia Plath''s Collected Poems, confirming her as one of the most powerful and lavishly gifted poets of our time.'' A. Alvarez in the Observer

Industry Reviews

Her death at 30, by her own hand, sealed the Plath legend and set it afloat with all its mysteries. This edition contains all Plath's work, from the highly stylized poems of The Colossus to the final stark ones. (Kirkus UK)
