The poems in Winter Trees were written in the last nine months of
Sylvia Plath's life, and form part of the group from which the
Ariel poems were chosen. They reveal the poet at the height of her
creative powers, exhibiting the startling imagery and dramatic play
for which she became known. Published posthumously in 1971, this
valuable collection finds its place alongside The Colossus and
Ariel in the oeuvre of a singular talent.'Nearly all the poems here
have the familiar Plath daring, the same feel of bits of
frightened, vibrant, indignant consciousness translated instantly
into words and images that blend close, experienced horror and icy,
sardonic control.' New Statesman'A book that anyone seriously
interested in poetry now must have . . . Sylvia Plath's immense
gift is evident throughout.' Guardian
