What an inspired idea—to tell the story of a brilliant poet’s life through a series of brilliant poems!

Hemphill’s poetry radiates with passion, taking us on a harrowing journey deep into the heart of Plath’s darkness. This beautiful book leaves us uplifted, knowing that despite the tragedy that befell her, Plath’s words will live on after her to “do some good … save someone lost.”
