Winter Trees

by Sylvia Plath

Overview

"Nearly all the poems here have the familiar Plath daring, the same feel of bits of frightened, vibrant, indignant consciousness translated instantly into words and images that blend close, experienced horror and icy, sardonic control." — New Statesman

"A book that anyone seriously interested in poetry now must have . . . Sylvia Plath’s immense gift is evident throughout."— Guardian

The poems in Winter Trees, published posthumously in 1972, form part of the collection from which the Ariel poems were chosen.
