Sylvia Plath: Poems Selected by Ted Hughes

The response of one writer to the work of another can be doubly illuminating. In this series, a poet selects and introduces another poet whom they have particularly admired. Ted Hughes’s classic selection of Sylvia Plath’s poetry provides the perfect introduction to a major body of work in twentieth-century poetry.
Hughes draws upon the collections *Ariel, The Colossus, Crossing the Water* and *Winter Trees* , and from Sylvia Plath’s Pulitzer Prize-winning *Collected Poems*.
