I've just started getting into poetry. I haven't really given it a try. I've read Anne Sexton and Emily Dickinson. I decided to reread this and then I'm going to do less famous poets. I read this three years ago. Some people on the internet say she's just famous for her life which was pretty fascinating. However, she was an incredible poet. The last 50 poems in the book are from her beginning period. They're all right. It's interesting to see how she developed and became more unique. Her poems became more emotional. My favorite poems here are the ones about her dad who was a beekeeper. He died in Sylvia's youth. I don't really care for the poems where she writes about a famous sculpture. Those are more at the beginning of the book. I heard the movie with Gwyneth Paltrow wasn't that good. I hope one of these days a proper movie is made preferably with a star that doesn't have a name yet. That would be even neater.
