The story begins with the suicide of Keiko, Etsuko's eldest daughter. It is from this moment onwards that Etsuko will investigate the truths of her past in order to make sense of the losses she has experienced both,…See More

Sylvia Plath's poem 'Parliament Hill Fields'
Posted on August 13, 2011 at 2:47am 0 Comments 0 Likes
The poem 'Parliament Hill Fields' written by Sylvia Plath in 1961 is a moving portrayal of grief and also of an emotional journey towards healing.
The critically acclaimed writer Sylvia Plath left behind a literary achievement of highly professional and emotionally charged short stories, journal entries, poems, children's stories and also a semi-autobiographical novel. Clinically depressed for most of her life, Sylvia's life was ended prematurely through the tragic act of suicide. At… Continue

Coffee dregs line the bottom of my cup
I watch black clouds give me my fortune
What good can come of all this thinking
I know what you are by now.
I have lost time to melancholy
To indulging in grief
Now I resurrect myself to labour
And it will take me to wife.
Fertility, a new project
I give birth to you
Hoping that your birth
Will wipe the slate clean.
There is nothing left to…

Meg Waite Clayton said… - I just opened the door to the novelist group for you - welcome! You might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion if you're not too uncomfortable talking about what you're working on. I’ll look forward to chatting with you!

- Oooh, The Bell Jar. One of my faves, Sussan. In one of my novels, each of my characters choses one book to model her own writing on (5 of my favorite books), and one of them chooses it.
Adding my voice to the welcome to She Writes. If you’re looking for a place to jump in, we’d love to have you join us in the Novelists – Struggling or Not group.
Enjoy the site!
