Crossing the Water by Sylvia Plath
Crossing the Water by Sylvia Plath. 1971 First U.S. edition, 56 pages. The poems in Crossing the Water were written before and along with Plath's masterpiece Ariel, although published posthumously. In a review in the New York Times: "It is a moment of admission equal to Emerson's on the death of his son: "This calamity. . .does not touch me; something which I fancied was a part of me, which could not be torn away without tearing me. . . .falls off from me and leaves no scar." "I supposed it's pointless to think of you at all," say Plath: "Already your doll grip lets go." These helpless lines of lack and silence remain to enrich this volume beyond glitter and flash, pointing to a depth opening toward "Ariel.""
