Listen "Sylvia Plath, Ariel "
Episode Synopsis
Kailey, Lydia and I talk about Sylvia Plath's Ariel. We consider only a few of the ways this "autobiography of a fever" achieves its most daring effects: metaphor, pronouns, vivid imagery, provocative plainness, and repetitions combined with variation. We consider her bee poems as a series of ars poetica, and explore the possibility that her most famous poems might actually be overshadowing her best poems.
