on A Birthday Present by Sylvia Plath, on March 5, 2007
if you read about Plath you will see she tried to kill herself on a few occasions. in this poem she is speaking of death. and when she put her head in that oven, she finally got her wish. sad, but true...

corrections needed (for plath's sake!)
this is not really so much a comment on the poem (though it is among my favorites) but a note to those who work here that it needs to be corrected. \pietes\ should be \pietas\ (line 15) and in line 18, \amoun\ should be \among\. line 20 and line 19 shouldn't be separated either; plath always employed perfectly even stanzas at this time of her career.

I think I see two mistakes here: first, I think pieties is supposed to be pietas (a prayerbook). Also, amoun should be amoung.

I've always loved this poem.

I wanted to leave a note for the oldpoetry helpers to point out a typo here.
In stanza two, the word 'here' is used instead of 'hear'.
