Sylvia Plath’s Youthful Art

Paintings and drawings by the poet Sylvia Plath, many never seen before, will be published in Britain this October by Oxford University Press to mark the 75th anniversary of her birth, The Guardian newspaper in England reported. The book “Eye Rhymes: Sylvia Plath’s Art of the Visual,” edited by Kathleen Connors and Sally Bayley, includes illustrated childhood letters, found in the Plath family attic in 1996, that Plath wrote when she was 7. There are also schoolbook sketches, portraits, photographs and paintings, including a self-portrait, that Plath made while an art student at Smith College. The works were all completed by the time she was 20, when she decided to concentrate on writing. Oxford plans to publish “Eye Rhymes” in the United States in January.
