What’s Wrong With a Little Plath vs. The Stove Humor?
Sylvia Plath is in my top 5 favorite poets. I find her life story to be incredibly intriguing, and her death beyond tragic. That being said, Ariel, her book of poetry, and The Bell Jar, her one and only novel, are absolute masterpieces of the English language.
My opinions of her literary work aside, this comic is funny, and so are the others on LiteraryComix.

WORDWORDWORDWORD Plath.
We came after Plath.
after, but never away from.
Her days were young.
I write in comments.
She sang in moon-song.
not long tho
there’s pain twisted and maiming
in her longer days,
spent no longer playing, crazy
or not, here we a came.
Come.
All.
We have longer to stay, and play
with the changing ways poetry
always explains.

I was drawn here while doing a tag search for “Sylvia Plath” posts.
I am currently reading Plath’s journals in preparation for a writing project and I’m hoping to foster some dialogue about Plath’s life and work. I did a brief post on her early perspectives here –

I would love for you to drop by and join the conversation.
Keep up the good blogging.
