SYLVIA PLATH

And this is the site for Sylvia  Plath's homepage. Very good and loads of information:http://www.sylviaplath.de/ 
This is what The Wikipedia tells us in case you don't want to leave this blog:
Sylvia Plath (October 27, 1932–February 11, 1963) was an
American poet, novelist and short story writer. Born in Massachusetts,
she studied at Smith College and Newnham College, Cambridge before
receiving acclaim as a professional poet and writer. She married fellow
poet Ted Hughes in 1956 and they lived together first in the
United States and then England, having two children together: Frieda
and Nicholas. Following a long struggle with depression and a marital separation, Plath committed suicide in 1963.Controversy continues to surround the events of her life and death, as well as her writing and legacy.
Plath is credited with advancing the genre of confessional poetry and is best known for her two collections The Colossus and Other Poems and Ariel. In 1982, she became the first poet to win a Pulitzer Prize posthumously for The Collected Poems. She also wrote The Bell Jar, a semi- autobiographical novel published shortly before her death.
