Cliff Hays (cliffhays) | 6 comments Barely anything can compete with Plath's extremely clever cynicism, but a work that immediately comes to mind is Dostoevsky's "Notes from Underground".

Juno | 6 comments Thank you! I've been thinking about reading Dostojevski for quite a while now anyway:)

You might want to read writers that she admired, worked with, or was directly influenced by--Lowell, Auden, Sexton, and Hughes would all be good places to start.

Christopher Sparks (electropoetics) | 1 comments Read Rough Magic by Paul Alexander. It covers her reading / writing inspirations author by author as she moves through her career.
