sylvia plath... as per usual?
why dont you settle on the language, not the contents, for a moment? can
you feel her words bite into you? i admit that 'depression poetry' is hard
to take, what is its function? but not self absorbed, no. these are such
strong feelings, and need a place to be allowed recognition. its a disease
and its something plath feels strongly about, you should not just dismiss
her for that.

I think as per usual plath has written another depresing poem. It seems to
be all she can do she is self obsessed and nothing else matters to her yes
i too belive this poem is about love but i don't feel the language is
"rich" nor do i think it is a "strong poem" I feel it is her at her best
which isn't alot

In my opinion Elm adresses a "you", the poetic persona os the poet on the
subject offear, love and suffering. It is a very strong poem with rich
language. The opening is simple and direct as are many lines in the poem. A
fascinating read with so much to offer in terms of getting to understan the
poet, Plath.
