Ariel is Sylvia Plath’s second poetry collection published two years after her death. It comprises the poems she wrote just before her death and includes many of her masterpieces such as “Daddy,” “Lady Lazarus” and “Paralytic.” Much of her fame as a great poet rests on this collection. This edition follows the first US edition which contained two more poems ---- “Mary’s Song” and “The Swarm” ---- than the first UK edition.
