Interesting...while trolling around yesterday I happened to click on the Sylvia thread (since she is one of my favorite poets) and it reminded me of how influential a writer she was/is. Then last nite the film "Sylvia" was on IFC. It was kind of mediocre, but it inspired me to pull out my dusty old Plath poetry volumes. God, what a writer, disturbing, passionate and downright scary at times. Today I was googling around with her and found out she was into the occult, thanks to her husband Ted Hughes, and that the woman he was having an affair with at the time of Sylvia's death committed suicide and murdered their illicit child in the same way Sylvia ended her life, gas stove and pills. Guilt or vengeful spirit, who knows? Anyway, I think I will try to find her unedited Journals soon. Might make for some interesting reading.
