Sylvia Plath

[PinkFloyd]

How has Randall Munroe not come up with a Sylvia Plath comic strip yet? I am not saying she should be made fun of but it just seems like his type of humor, to joke about romance, sarcasm, math, and language. A Sylvia Plath comic strip would serve 3 of the 4.

I'd never heard of her before but the first thing I found by her was impressive:

Love set you going like a fat gold watch.
The midwife slapped your footsoles, and your bald cry
Took its place among the elements.

[Jahoclave]

She's one of those lovely Norton Suicide Biographies. Took her a few tries.

Old dead joke. Pigeon holing Sylvia Plath is so hackneyed. Every fool has done it, in fact I just watched an episode of Family Guy 10 minutes ago (my dad was watching it and I was in the room) that mocked her.

Why would anyone want to mock the poor woman anyway, she had a mental disease and killed herself when she decided ( delusional worries that she really didn't need to suffer from, but that was her sickness ) she wasn't getting enough attention and that isn't something to mock. "There but for the grace . . . etc" as they say.

She wasn't the worst poet the world has produced.

[Midnight]

She's quite a good poet, actually.
