Description

Ariel is a collection of poems written by Sylvia Plath in a burst of creativity just before her death in 1963. The book includes some of her most famous poems, such as 'Lady Lazarus', 'Edge', 'Daddy', and 'Paralytic'.

Published in 1965, Ariel is the first of four collections to be published by Faber & Faber, and it is on which Plath's reputation as a gifted poet rests. Her unique voice and perspective are evident in the poems, which offer a glimpse into her ever-changing moods and her way of pinning down her subjects with a keen eye.

The book is introduced by Frieda Hughes, who reflects on Plath's life and legacy, saying that her own words describe her best. This collection is a powerful and thought-provoking work that showcases Plath's remarkable talent and enduring impact on literature.
