The Colossus: And Other Poems by Sylvia Plath

1.0

While I did find value and interest reflected in the contents of The Bell Jar to a degree, Sylvia’s poetry does absolutely nothing for me. I just can’t find anything I like about it even if I sit with it for a long while and ponder and let it absorb into me. I can’t really begin to understand why people enjoy it if I am quite honest. I say that to mean, on a personal level of taste I have no inkling as to what people enjoy in it. This is not to take away from her as a writer at all, it’s all in matters of individual preference.
