About This Item
London: Faber and Faber, 1971. Original wraps. Near Fine. A very sharp copy of the 1971 Uncorrected Proof of Sylvia Plath's "Crossing the Water". Clean and Near Fine in its light-green wrappers, with just a touch of light creasing at the preliminaries. Octavo, 64 pgs.
Synopsis
"A representative selection of verse by the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer who left in the wake of her personal tragedy a legacy of poems that combine terrifying intensity and dazzling artistry. With their brutally frank self-exposure and emotional immediacy, Plath's poems... have had an enduring influence on contemporary poetry."
