Your Own, Sylvia: A Verse Portrait of Sylvia Plath by Stephanie Hemphill

3.0

This is a collection of poems that explores the life of Sylvia Plath through the eyes of her friends and family. I really don't know anything about Sylvia Plath or about poetry, but I enjoyed getting a glimpse of Plath's life through Ms. Hemphill's poems. She includes extensive source notes (yay!) and notes with each poem to explain what event in Sylvia's life inspired that particular poem or to give other information about the truth contained in the poem.
