Ok, I'll admit it, I did not get all her poems. It seems like her most famous poems were clearly the best (Lady Lazarus, Daddy, and Tulips).

I think Cut is her best. Something about the expression "Thumb stump" that gets me.

Read her journals - I will shill them until the day I die. She is the finest diarist of the 20th century bar none and her journals provide the most genuine and useful insight into female psychology available.

Mushrooms, A Birthday Present, and Morning Songs are all quite good and easy enough to understand, no?

"the writer of the best journal/diary"

"who was alive between 1900 and 2000

"and I contend that my suggestion of her as such is valid"

Need any more help?
