Hi, all --

Here's a link, sent along by William Haskins, to the recently discovered Plath work.

It's also available on his new writers' site, www.authorscoop.com.

Enjoy, discuss, and drop by William's place.

Wow. You can hear the classicism that marked a lot of her early work in this poem -- and it is quite nice (that's a bonus!). Sometimes reading Sylvia makes me despair of ever being a poet.

And the hint of more to be unearthed -- we'll be excited about her for some time to come.

I cherish my copy of SP's Collected Works but this new discovery doesn't do much for me. I had a weak feeling of "so what" after reading it. Apt title tho.
