Letters Home : Correspondence, 1950-1963Plath, Sylvia
Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Listeners get the full course with this new audio program that contains rare archival recordings--some never before released, a two-color 48- to 64-page book with the complete text of Plath's poems, an introductory essay by the editor, and biographical information.
"Plath [is what Dylan Thomas called a] 'dangerous' reader--and these recordings are a revelation. From the stilted affectation of the early recordins, made in Massachusetts in 1958 (in which we hear the young poet aspiring just a little too earnestly), to the unnerving voice of the late recordings, made on Ocotber 30, 1962, just after Plath completed the first batch of her ARIEL poems and less than four months before her suicide, we hear a transformation that parallels the transformation of Plath's poetry during the same period. Plath's voice on these recordings...is all but impossible to get our of one's head. In the 1962 recordings she does not exaggerated or melodramatize--she lives the poems, and the intensity is almost unbearable. One is forced to retreat to the printed page, where the welcoming silence restores to the poems their reassuring status of literary objets d'art."
Wen Stephenson, Atlantic Monthly, April 2000
