Ariel by Sylvia Plath Free PDF Download

In these poems...Sylvia Plath becomes herself, becomes something imaginary, newly, wildly and subtly created. -- From the Introduction by Robert Lowell. Ariel was the second book of Sylvia Plaths poetry to be published, and was originally published in 1965, two years after her death by suicide. The poems in Ariel, with their free flowing images and characteristically menacing psychic landscapes, marked a dramatic turn from Plaths earlier Colossus poems.
