Alternative

Ted Hughes, he actually writes poetry, not rants, and reflects on things other than daddy-issues. Infinitely better range, style, etc.
Plath is an infant having a tantrum in comparison to his stuff.

Plath is narrow in thematic scope, sure, but that shouldn't detract from our perception of her facilely discernible talent. Reading Plath may feel like it can be condensed into a sixteen-year old girl's angsty ramblings, but the virtuosic way in which we find herself able to express these feelings should still be taken into account in our evaluation of her as a writer.

Don't worry, soon your government will force you into eating factory grown meat so you can remain as fat and stupid as you are now without destroying the planet.
