The first appearance in print of ten of Sylvia Plath’s most famous poems, including one that Ted Hughes later withheld from publication. “Death & Co.,” “Getting There,” “Lady Lazarus,” “Little Fugue” and “Daddy” were later collected in Ariel (Faber, 1965). “The Swarm,” “The Other,” “Childless Woman” and “Thalidomide” were later collected in Winter Trees (Faber, 1971). Ted Hughes did not include the tenth poem that appears here, “The Jailor” in Plath’s three posthumous collections.
