A community surrounding the life and work of the American author and poet Sylvia Plath (1932–1963), and related figures.
“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.”
Dear friends,
r/sylviaplath has now been reopened to the general public. The subreddit will be renovated very soon. Please feel free to input suggestions for the community.
Yours sincerely,
Subreddit Moderator

How did you comment on this post mere moments after it was published? Just curious.
It popped up on my feed this quick too ! Excited about the sub :)
(Mad Girl's Love Song)
what an odd question
Sorry; not my intent to abase... Bad impression.
perfect timing, i'm rereading the bell jar :)
I’m listening to the audio book for the first time right now!
Oh excited! It hasn't been active since I joined!
Thank you so much for this! I did my dissertation on Sylvia Plath's poetry, and I love the idea of finally finding other people who are just as obsessed. Anybody read "Red Comet" -- the 1000 page book about her life with all her final letters?
I'm in the middle of a re-read right now!
Oh good! I've missed it.
Great timing! I just got into her works recently.
