..Author: Sylvia Plath
..Pages: 128 (paperback)
..Sales Ranking: 27,200
..Summary: "Though at times they present the reader with hopelessness laid bare, these poems also teem with the brightest shards of a life, confounding those who merely look for the words of a gloomy, dispassionate suicide. Plath rose each morning in the final months of her life to 'that still blue, almost eternal hour before the baby's cry' and left us these words like 'axes/After whose stroke the wood rings...'"

..Title: The Colossus and Other Poems
..Author: Sylvia Plath
..Pages: 84 (paperback)
..Sales Ranking: 129,950
..Summary: "With this startling, exhilarating book of poems, which was first published in 1960, Sylvia Plath burst into literature with spectacular force...She writes about sows and skeletons, fathers and suicides, about the noisy imperatives of life and the chilly hunger for death. Graceful in their craftsmanship, wonderfully original in their imagery, and presenting layer after layer of meaning, the forty poems in The Colossus are early artifacts of genius that still possess the power to move, delight, and shock."
