And was resurrected.” Often sounding like Norman Vincent Peale, she credits her rebirth to mental magic, a belief that attitude can change everything. She attributes achievements—poems in Harper’s Magazine, a summer guest editorship at Mademoiselle—to the conscious choice she has made, that of transforming wish to reality through hard work.

I can’t be satisfied with the colossal job of merely living.” – Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

She elucidates clearly the progression of the metaphor of moon as plant bulb, demonstrating an ability to analyze her own work, and also a keen eye for imagistic progression, a progression that culminates in such poems as “Fever 103°” and “Cut.” Taylor, Tess (February 12, 2013).
