Today, I'd like to wish a very "Happy Birthday" to one of my favorite poets, Sylvia Plath. If she were alive today, she'd be turning 78 years old. Her story and end is a tragic one. It reminds me that life is beautiful and a precious gift. I'm including a video of Sylvia reading her poem "Ariel". apparently, this was written on this day, a few years before she committed suicide. It is a shame to see such a life cut short. She was so talented and bright, an inspiration for a new generation of modern women poets. Her foray into the genre "confessional poetry" changed the landscape of the craft.

I hope that you like it as much as I did. It's a stunning use of words, sounds, tonal textures. She was a master in the art of constructing visuals.
