a life so perdicted

Oh! I cannot tell you how delighted I am to find this! I am emphatically a Plath fan. And this - is a fine, fine tribute to her. (Trust me when I say this - to acknowledge that you've done her justice, is perhaps the most the powerful praise that I can offer....)

Gosh, I could just ramble on and on and on here... of her, of this, of her work and the connection I feel to it. I have written of her myself - and will continue to do so I'm sure (I don't think I'm yet satisfied... no, I know I'm not) - with what I've written thus far. The nearest I've come is to honor her via a write that began of Anne Sexton...

I feel as if I understand this and the inspiration that prompted you to begin this piece... though, I feel rather bold in saying as much. I'd guess that we feel similarly with regard to her, confessional poets in general, and... (dare I say it) even Mr. Hughes. I could go on... but, I'm sure I've said enough to let you know that you've made another Sylvia fan quite happy today. Well, well done!
