Aw lil Sylvia.

This is objectively the correct response.

If you loved Infinite Jest no one cares what happens to your heart. The best you can hope for is we wish it stop beating.

Hello there hot stuff.

Yes.

The question is, her or Sylvia?

Where are you getting these from, anon?

Also the answer is Plath.

Favorite poets?

there's just something so unbearably sexy about her

I would sell my soul for a chance to go back in time and fuck sylvia plath

Is Sylvia Plath's poetry deliberately made to be confusing or is it just the fact I speak English as a second language?

>The woman is perfected.
>Her dead

>Body wears the smile of accomplishment,
>The illusion of a Greek necessity

>Flows in the scrolls of her toga,
>Her bare

>Feet seem to be saying:
>We have come so far, it is over.

>Each dead child coiled, a white serpent,
>One at each little

>Pitcher of milk, now empty.
>She has folded

>Them back into her body as petals
>Of a rose close when the garden

>Stiffens and odors bleed
>From the sweet, deep throats of the night flower.

>The moon has nothing to be sad about,
>Staring from her hood of bone.

>She is used to this sort of thing.
>Her blacks crackle and drag.

Seriously, apart from the fact she's about to commit suicide, what the fuck does this all mean? It's barely even coherent (and it's just one example, all her poems are like that)

Ok guys let's talk about Sylvia Plath.

What the fuck was her problem? She had daddy issues, we know that. She even wrote her one hit wonder about it. We also know that she was the only 7/10 female writer who wrote serious work to ever exist.

Anyway, back to the point, what the fuck was her deal? Her dad died when she was young, so therefore she wanted to die too so she can be with him? That explains all the suicide attempts? Was she that attached to her father?

Or was it a narcissistic cry for help? It's obvious that she later capitalized on her suicidal tendencies in her poetry. Her history of suicide attempts was the primary cause of her poetry getting noticed--kind of like how Dennis Rodman is know to the world as a basketball player not because he was amazing, but because of his fucked up hairdo.

In conclusion I think Sylvia Plath was a sexy histrionic--nothing more really. If she was actually a good person she wouldn't have killed herself with her kids around (who were also in danger from the gas exploding, as well as dramatization).

I find it pretty funny that so many feminists flock to her.

Your face when Sylvia Plath is actually just like Chris-Chan, except that she existed before Sonic and Pokemon, and thus did not have a crappy OC to base her shitty poetry off.

Everything else is mostly the same though.

thoughts on this bitch?

Why is Sylvia Plath so famous and respected? Her poems are extremely obscure, so that only academics, not common readers, can possibly appreciate them.
