ARIEL (FABER 90TH)

'If the poems are despairing, vengeful and destructive, they are at the same time tender, open to things, and also unusually clever, sardonic, hardminded…the book is a major literary event' - A. Alvarez. Written between the publication of her first book, The Colossus, in 1960 and her death in 1963, this collection includes many of Plath’s best-known poems including 'Lady Lazarus', 'Daddy', 'Edge' and 'Paralytic'.
