Remembering Sylvia Plath
Sylvia Plath is one of my favorite poets. For a long time, I had a section of my website devoted to her life and poetry. She’s pretty well-known. Mostly for her tragic suicide at age 30, leaving her two children without a mother. One of those children ended up taking his own life as well. From what I understand, Sylvia Plath suffered from depression. She had ECT (electroshock therapy) and apparently, it didn’t help. She had everything to live for, but apparently the darkness was too much to bear.
