Journals of Sylvia Plath

I've said it before and I'll keep on saying it, Sylvia Plath had an incredible and fascinating mind. You could really hear her voice in this, and it was great to read the private, inner musings of a respectable poet/author. She writes beautiful, flowery descriptions of her world, narrates the events of her life, and talks a lot about the difficulties of a creative person. And of a woman in/out of love.

The material was very thought-out, nothing like a “usual” diary entry, which meant it could get heavy at times. Angry Sylvia is my favourite Sylvia.

I read this as an eBook, but would pick up the unabridged copy in a physical book format. I also learnt how to journal better after reading this, so that's a good little bonus.
