Abstrakt: An essay is presented on the literary works of poet Sylvia Plath which represents the epitome of suicidal poetry and captures the exhumation of the material corpses through figuration. It says that her work evidences a disciplined voice of controlled extremity, which led critics and students to read into her poetic intensity and think that she is an angry poet. It mentions the statement of poet Alicia Ostriker, that Plath's poetry reflects the truth of a national predicament.
