Ted
Hughes threnody for his former wife Sylvia Plath published 35 years
after her death by her own hand. A case of can't live with her, can't
live without her; mental illness made life with her difficult. The
poems are highly personal and often difficult of access. Bought this
book when it came out in 1998 just six months before the author's
death and just now reading it. Hughes was harshly judged as an
unsympathetic serial lover until these poems saw the light of day.
