Sylvia Plath (1932–1963) was an American author and poet. Plath is primarily known for her poetry, but earned her greatest reputation for her semi-autobiographical novel The Bell Jar, published pseudonymously weeks before her death.
Plath published dozens of poems, including:
Plath published only one book in her lifetime—the novel The Bell Jar—but several collected editions of her poetry, short stories, letters, and children's books were published posthumously.
Several of Plath's letters and her personal journal were published after her death. Most of her manuscripts are held in the Cambridge and Indiana University libraries.
There are several limited-edition collections of Plath's work. Significant compilations include:
