Reviews[Frieda] Hughes' thoughts on her mother's life and writing offer a calm, tender account of a life that has too often been fodder for sensationalist coverage., "One of the most devastatingly moving and universally beloved books of poetry published in the 20th century." -- Time magazine "It's hard to read the original manuscript without trying to understand what Hughes was thinking when he left out certain poems and included others. She loved him. He hurt her. All of us who love her work are caught like children in that crossfire forever." -- Los Angeles Times "Illuminating." -- New York Review of Books "Made up of poems that are so original in their style and so startlingly accomplished in their confessional voice that they helped change the direction of contemporary poetry, Ariel is a masterpiece." -- New York Observer "...the publication of this 'other' Ariel will no doubt sustain the Hughes/Plath controversy for years to come, but we can be grateful for the insights provided by this restored edition." -- Library Journal "[Frieda] Hughes' thoughts on her mother's life and writing offer a calm, tender account of a life that has too often been fodder for sensationalist coverage." -- Lisa Ko, author of The Leavers "These are powerful poems, not outtakes and B sides, and if they expose Plath's personal pain, they also enrich our sense of her state of mind at the height of her powers." -- Time magazine "Ariel: The Restored Edition finally puts the focus back where it belongs -- on Plath's poetry." -- Village Voice "...a poetic landmark of the decade....a coruscating book, painfully self-revelatory, brimming with a fierce, raw energy." -- The Economist "To women who wrote, this work was galvanizing. Sylvia . . . had a fully evolved voice." -- New York Review of Books "Frieda Hughes has had the courage to bring her mother back, not as a symbol, but as a poet. Her poems are here and will have the last word. They remain remarkable." -- New York Review of Books "Sometimes it takes a long time for a book to reach its readers in the form the writer intended. . . . Ariel: The Restored Edition does the job, and then some." -- Seattle Times "...one of the most important books of poetry of the 20th century..." -- Slate "It's like a belated gift from Plath to the 'peanut-crunching crowd' that follows her every mood, every thought, even many years after her death." -- Buffalo News, ...a poetic landmark of the decade....a coruscating book, painfully self-revelatory, brimming with a fierce, raw energy., It's hard to read the original manuscript without trying to understand what Hughes was thinking when he left out certain poems and included others. She loved him. He hurt her. All of us who love her work are caught like children in that crossfire forever., ...the publication of this 'other' Ariel will no doubt sustain the Hughes/Plath controversy for years to come, but we can be grateful for the insights provided by this restored edition., It's like a belated gift from Plath to the 'peanut-crunching crowd' that follows her every mood, every thought, even many years after her death., One of the most devastatingly moving and universally beloved books of poetry published in the 20th century., Frieda Hughes has had the courage to bring her mother back, not as a symbol, but as a poet.

Synopsis"Made up of poems that are so original in their style and so startlingly accomplished in their confessional voice that they helped change the direction of contemporary poetry, Ariel is a masterpiece." -- New York Observer Sylvia Plath's famous collection, as she intended it. When Sylvia Plath died, she not only left behind a prolific life but also her unpublished literary masterpiece, Ariel. When her husband, Ted Hughes, first brought this collection to the public, it garnered worldwide acclaim, but it wasn't the draft Sylvia had wanted her readers to see. This facsimile edition restores, for the first time, Plath's original manuscript--including handwritten notes--and her own selection and arrangement of poems. This edition also includes in facsimile the complete working drafts of her poem "Ariel," which provide a rare glimpse into the creative process of a beloved writer. This publication introduces a truer version of Plath's works, and will alter her legacy forever., Sylvia Plath's famous collection, as she intended it.

Sylvia Plath's Ariel
The definitive issuing of Sylvia Plath's Ariel. With Plath's original notes, as well as an introduction by Plath's daughter, who compiled this edition. Plath is and always will be one of the priemier poets of our age. And her daughter has now reissued Ariel, what many fans of her work consider her best collection of poems; so that it can be enjoyed as the author originally intended.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
