Sylvia Plath was born in 1932 in Massachusetts. Her books include the poetry collections The Colossus, Crossing the Water, Winter Trees, Ariel, and Collected Poems, which won the Pulitzer Prize. A complete and uncut facsimile edition of Ariel was published in 2004 with her original selection and arrangement of poems. She was married to the poet Ted Hughes, with whom she had a daughter, Frieda, and a son, Nicholas. She died in London in 1963.
After graduating in 1917 she lived in Greenwich Village in New York for a few years, acting, writing satirical pieces for journals (usually under a pseudonym), and continuing to work at her poetry. She traveled in Europe throughout 1921-22 as a "foreign correspondent" for Vanity Fair. Her collection A Few Figs from Thistles (1920) gained her a reputation for hedonistic wit and cynicism, but her other collections (including the earlier Renascence and Other Poems [1917]) are without exception more seriously passionate or reflective.
In 1923 she married Eugene Boissevain and -- after further travel -- embarked on a series of reading tours which helped to consolidate her nationwide renown. From 1925 onwards she lived at Steepletop, a farmstead in Austerlitz, New York, where her husband protected her from all responsibilities except her creative work. Often involved in feminist or political causes (including the Sacco-Vanzetti case of 1927), she turned to writing anti-fascist propaganda poetry in 1940 and further damaged a reputation already in decline. In her last years of her life she became more withdrawn and isolated, and her health, which had never been robust, became increasingly poor.
She died in 1950.
El nuevo estuche de Poesía Portátil recoge la selección de ocho voces femeninas esenciales de la poesía.
Esta recopilación abarca la urgencia lírica de ocho poetas: los gritos de protesta, el canto a la vida, el amor a la naturaleza o las reivindicaciones de los derechos de la mujer de Alfonsina Storni, los versos de la premio Nobel Gabriela Mistral o la intensidad, el dolor y la belleza de las implacables composiciones de Sylvia Plath; pasando por los textos de Emily Dickinson, desprovistos de adornos y reglas, que hablan de la mujer, de la enfermedad y de la muerte o una traducción inédita de algunos de los escasos textos que se conservan de la poeta griega Safo. Se recogen, además, los versos más icónicos de Rosalía de Castro, Edna St. Vincent Millay y la célebre Juana Inés de la Cruz, tres poetas clave.
