Publisher Description

Crossing the Water, a collection of poems written just prior to those in Ariel, is of immense importance in recording Sylvia Plath's extraordinary development.

Sylvia Plath's extraordinary collection pushes the envelope between dark and light, between our deep passions and desires that are often in tension with our duty to family and society. Water becomes a metaphor for the surface veneer that many of us carry, but Plath explores how easily this surface can be shaken and disturbed.
