forever decayin یا در زوالی ابدی..جهانی که هر چه زمان,این پارامتر نا مشخص زندگی انسان,بر ان میگذشت..بی توجه به وقایع باز هم راه خود را به سوی خودنابودی میافت..در نهایت همراه شدن با سیلویا پلات تجربه ای تلخ بود اما من رو به نوشتن تشویق کرد,نوشتن انچه در ذهن من و بر من می گذرد.. A genuine literary event…. Plath’s journals contain marvels of discovery.” — The New York Times Book Review This is the dilemma of the soul. It is the dilemma of the artist in his or her calling, and that spiritual pull between the real world and the state of imagining which becomes, through physical and mental exertion, its own state.

The student Sylvia was interesting, incredibly eloquent and contemplative; alive and iridescent, even at her worst depressions. The working, married Sylvia was washed out and colorless. But that’s when she wrote her most important masterpieces. So I suppose she just transplanted her magic from journaling to higher purposes. Although Plath's mythology may at times be off-putting due to a kind of forcefulness and rancor, it is a distinct voice full of human emotion. The world she creates is recognizable, but only as far as a dream may be recognizable. In truth, what we encounter cannot be Plath herself. Her final poetry is a brilliant invention, prepared by a writer in pursuit of her very best. A literary event… The book has a raw immediacy that will only add to Plath’s iconic reputation.”— Harpers & QueensMore intimate than any of her poetry books, Plath's journals offer greater insight into both her personal and literary struggles. Sylvia Plath's journals were originally published in 1982 in a heavily abridged version authorized by Plath's husband, Ted Hughes. This new edition is an exact and complete transcription of the diaries Plath kept during the last twelve years of her life. Sixty percent of the book is material that has never before been made public, more fully revealing the intensity of the poet's personal and literary struggles, and providing fresh insight into both her frequent desperation and the bravery with which she faced down her demons. The complete Journals of Sylvia Plath is essential reading for all who have been moved and fascinated by Plath's life and work. I don't know if I found her or if she found me, all I know is that we have always belonged together. They say that you're an amalgamation of all the books you read, but of all the authors I've ever read she's the one I feel the most myself with. I find it particularly interesting to note Plath’s thoughts and emotions as these events occur, although they are not pointedly mentioned!

I lapped up Plath’s vivid, colorful, emotive prose. Her descriptions overflow with perfectly chosen details. I was looking for beautiful, lyrical prose and I got it. Of course, not in every line. Plath’s prose goes up and down, along with her moods. Plath was diagnosed as being clinically depressed for much of her adult life. She underwent electroconvulsive therapy and consulted psychiatrists. All along the way, I sensed in her writing her emotional state. i2319814x |b1010001804949 |das |g- |m |h5 |x0 |t0 |i0 |j18 |k010702 |n03-01-2016 18:35 |o- |aPS3566.L27 Z469 2000 i94033596 |b1070003377510 |dflgmn |g- |m231117 |h16 |x1 |t1 |i5 |j18 |k150516 |n10-31-2022 22:26 |o- |aPS3566.L27 |rZ471 2000she died when she was 30. She committed suicide by suffocating herself to death. She couldn't find her own ability to stand up, but she helped me find mine. Because of her suicide at the age of 30, many critics have labeled her either immature or hysterical--while other critics have taken it upon themselves to defend her integrity. Those who have championed her work find they do so at personal cost. Unfortunately, her personal life, and the circumstances surrounding her death have had an adverse effect on how she is read.

The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath by Sylvia Plath – eBook Details The journal entries included in this volume are dated as early as July 1950, when Plath is an eighteen year old just about to begin college, and reveal a refined style and outlook that seems way ahead of her time. An all-American girl on the surface, she craves both independence and sexual freedom, and has ambitious in an age when success for women was defined as being wives and mothers. Thus, although often preoccupied with dating and husband-hunting she is calculating in romance, knowing the precarity of women in the 1950s. Unable to see herself in the hallowed image of a domestic subservient, she wants equality; she negotiates her femininity vis-a-vis the 'masculinity' of her aspirations and often mentions her envy for the ease of male living. Jesus. My college diaries don't sound like that, let me tell you. But of course, Sylvia Plath has always operated on another level entirely, and her journals prove nothing else, it's that Plath was in a category by herself.
