Subscribe to The Sharpener
The paid-subscriber version of The Sharpener includes weekly installments of craft pieces, approaches to writing problems, topics in contemporary publishing for writers, and biographical features on poets I consider important.
It hasn’t been that many years that I’ve known Plath was a painter. Her poem here is colorful.
