About this product

Product Information

"Crossing the Water, a collection of poems written just prior to those in Ariel, . . . is of immense importance in recording [Plath's] extraordinary development. One senses on every page a voice coming into its own, the chaos of a lifetime at last getting ready to assume its final, triumphant shape." -- Kirkus Reviews Sylvia Plath's extraordinary collection pushes the envelope between dark and light, between our deep passions and desires that are often in tension with our duty to family and society. Water becomes a metaphor for the surface veneer that many of us carry, but Plath explores how easily this surface can be shaken and disturbed.

Reviews
"Of immense importance in recording her extraordinary development. One senses on every page a voice coming into its own, the chaos of a lifetime at last getting ready to assume its final, triumphant shape." -- Kirkus Reviews "These poems are uniquely transitional. The intense control and the maturity found here are not matched in the earlier, youthful Colossus or in the later, tortured Ariel. This short middle period gives us Plath at her most sophisticated and skilled." -- Antioch Review

  • Loved seeing these poems outside of the collection

    Thes epieces are wonderfully constructed..it's cool to see her progression from juvenelia to Colossus, Crossing and then Ariel. I just recently bought this, but will surely wear it thin after a few years. Her writing is so contained yet wild and her persona shines through her words so brightly. If you like poetry, get this. If you like Plath, you probably already have it, so buy a first ed. : )
