Book Reviews of Birthday Letters
Book Review: Brilliant work of poetry
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a brilliant work by a major 20th century poet. No doubt about it.
I don't understand all of the continued antipathy toward Hughes by the Plath mob. Whatever his faults as a husband, Plath had suffered from depression for many years and had attempted suicide at least once. Regarding his destruction of some of Plath's writing, I would have burned the whole lot of it if it meant protecting my children. He made sure that Ariel was published, and for that, we should be grateful.
