Publisher Description
With this startling, exhilarating book of poems, which was first published in 1960, Sylvia Plath burst into literature with spectacular force. In such classics as "The Beekeeper's Daughter," "The Disquieting Muses," "I Want, I Want," and "Full Fathom Five," she writes about sows and skeletons, fathers and suicides, about the noisy imperatives of life and the chilly hunger for death. Graceful in their craftsmanship, wonderfully original in their imagery, and presenting layer after layer of meaning, the forty poems in The Colossus are early artifacts of genius that still possess the power to move, delight, and shock.

In between
Some of the poems I do deeply love, some of them… I don’t get it.
But maybe that is just because the English level used in writing this poems is above my comprehension capabilities and that it’s alright since I am not a native speaker. But the poems I did understood… exquisite! I do recommend! :)
