Ariel by Sylvia Plath is a powerful poetry collection published posthumously in 1965. The poems, known for their intense emotion and vivid imagery, reflect Plath’s struggles with mental illness, identity and personal relationships.

Plath’s distinctive voice and raw, confessional style make Ariel a seminal work in modern American poetry.
