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.
The poems in Sylvia Plath's Ariel, including many of her best-known such as Lady Lazarus, Daddy, and Fever 103 Degrees, were all written between the publication, in 1960, of Plath's first book, The Colossus, and her death in 1963.

Sylvia Plath's Ariel is lauded for its intensity and mythic qualities, capturing the emotional landscape with a lasting impact similar to Dylan Thomasβs work. Critics have recognised its stark brilliance and daring risks, cementing the collection as a defining and poignant representation of contemporary emotional life and poetic achievement.
