Ariel
Possessing one of the most commanding voices in twentieth-century poetry, Plath published only one volume of verse and a single novel.
Ariel is the volume upon which rests Sylvia Plath's reputation as one of the most original, daring and gifted poets of the twentieth century; now one of six wonderful collections published in celebration of Faber's rich poetry heritage.
