About the collection and the author

Ariel is the first of four collections by Plath published by Faber & Faber. Sylvia Plath (October 27, 1932 – February 11, 1963) is credited with advancing confessional poetry; her other notable works include The Colossus and Other Poems (1960) and the semi-autobiographical novel The Bell Jar. Her posthumous Collected Poems won the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry in 1982 — a recognition that underscores her lasting influence on contemporary poetry.
