Yesterday I watched a film called Sylvia starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Daniel Craig. It was based on the life of the poet Sylvia Plath, as well as her poet husband Ted Hughes. Unfortunately, even as a literature major, I have not had much contact with her before. I am regretting that deeply. She is a beautiful poet and novelist, and her life was such a tragedy. After separating from her husband, she killed herself less then a year later at age 30. Regardless of the tragedy of her life, she accomplished so much. I am profoundly in awe of this beautiful, anguished woman.
I attempted to find a poem to place here. Unfortunately, all of them are too good. You should look them up yourself.
