An Introduction to Sylvia Plath: Video Clips We'll Watch in Class

No need to watch these on your own--we'll be watching them and discussing Plath's life in class on Thursday.


"I think my poems immediately come out of the sensuous and emotional experiences I have, but I must say I cannot sympathize with these cries from the heart that are informed by nothing except a needle or a knife, or whatever it is. I believe that one should be able to control and manipulate experiences, even the most terrifying, like madness, being tortured, this sort of experience, and one should be able to manipulate these experiences with an informed and intelligent mind."-Plath
