Sylvia Plath born on October 27, 1932, in Boston, MA, was an American poet, novelist, and short story writer. She is credited with advancing the genre of confessional poetry and is best known for two of her published collections, The Colossus and Other Poems (1960) and Ariel (1965), and also The Bell Jar, a semi-autobiographical novel published shortly before her suicide on February 11, 1963. In this recording, Plath reads "Tulips," "Poppies In October," "Daddy," "Ariel," "Lady Lazarus," and "The Applicant."

The music does not go well with this reading. It's a biased subliminal influence. "The music is so charming. It must point to some deeper meaning in the poetry..." "All poetry should have a beautiful accompaniment. The music matches the feeling of the poem exactly." "Poetry is this grand thing, and needs the best music when you read it."
