A Summer Stipend from the National Endowment for the Humanities will support the completion of an expanded, annotated edition of the American poet Sylvia Plath’s Collected Poems. The Poems of Sylvia Plath, which I am co-editing with Karen V. Kukil, is under contract with Faber and Faber and will be published in 2024. While the Collected Poems includes 224 poems that Plath composed from 1956 to 1963 and a selection of 50 early poems at the end, The Poems of Sylvia Plath will contain all known poems (approximately 514), organized chronologically, and approximately 500 pages of notes. The volume will be faithful to Plath’s final authorial decisions, becoming the new standard for readers, students, and scholars. It will make a lasting contribution to the humanities, one that will provide a fuller and sharper perspective on a major writer and important figure in American culture. |
