plath

i think this poem is amazing. She is not being cold at all. when she says
that our voicves echo, magnifying your arrival. new statue. in a drafty
museumj, your nakedness shadows our safety. we stand round blankly as
walls. is saying her baby is the art that is holding her eye. its the
artwork she wants to protect and admire. and it is the art she is admiring.
read your own, sylvia. its explains how sylvia plath. she was not selfish.
not even with the suicide attempts. she was lost. her husband and her did
not get along at all and got a divorce. she stayed with her children and
loved them each dearly. she miscarried once and immediately tried for
another baby soon after. this gave her her son nick. the book your own
sylvia explains this to us in a series of poems about her growing up and
dating and how family tensions within her husbands side of the family
towards her were a heavy burden on her. Since she was young she was seeking
love and by saying that she admired her child and protected it like the
museum would she is showing she has someone to love now. She is making her
baby everything to her. Her children in life were the things that inspired
her in poetry. so did giving birth to such amazing human beings. She is a
person who people get the wrong idea about. she was not a bad person. just
confused and wanting love.

This is possibly one of the most moving and truthful poems on becoming a
new mother. Who among us who have had children can forget the intense inner
turmoil, fear,love, feeling of loss of one's identity, the rawness of one's
own body as compared to the radiant perfection of the newborn baby, the
sense of mystery and inhabited us in the aftermath of giving birth? What I
also appreciate is the total lack of sentimentality. Wasn't it Norman
Mailer who said that "sentimentality is for those who have no true
sentiment"? So what if the poem stems from Plath's depression? So much of
art stems from torment and self-doubt and that fact is not reductive -
rather the opposite when we think of Goya and Donne for example. Motherhood
walks a the tightrope of bliss and fear from the very first moment and
Plath captures that truth wonderfully.
