The poems were written in an extraordinary burst of creativity just before Sylvia Plath's death in 1963, and they went on to establish her reputation as one of the most original and gifted poets of the twentieth century.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The critic Al Alvarez, reviewing the collection in the \u003ci\u003eObserver\u003c\/i\u003e, wrote: 'If the poems are despairing, vengeful and destructive, they are at the same time tender, open to things, and also unusually clever, sardonic, hardminded . . . They are works of great artistic purity and, despite all the nihilism, great generosity . . . the book is a major literary event.'\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The poet Emily Berry offers an introduction that gives readers, old and new, a way into the poems, and demonstrates Plath's profound and enduring influence down the generations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unity Books","offers":[{"title":"Ariel","offer_id":45436536914117,"sku":null,"price":33.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/6679\/3413\/files\/978-0-571-39477-7.jpg?v=1764721111","url":"https:\/\/unitybooks.myshopify.com\/products\/ariel-5","provider":"Unity Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
