£225.00
A first edition, first printing of Winter Trees by Sylvia Plath, published by Faber in 1971. A near fine book free from internal inscriptions, slight rubbing to extremities, lightly toned top edge to text block, otherwise bright and crisp. The unclipped wrapper with some light handling wear, fading to the spine and one small closed tear to head of spine. With associated The Poetry Book Society flyer and former retailers bookmark.
“Winter Trees” by Sylvia Plath is a posthumous poetry collection that offers a compelling insight into the poet’s thematic concerns and distinctive poetic style. Plath’s exploration of nature in the context of winter serves as a metaphor for her personal struggles and inner turmoil. In these poems, winter symbolises emotional coldness, isolation and the idea of death and rebirth, often reflecting her own psychological complexities and challenges with mental health.
