[5] In 1936 the family moved from 24 Prince Street in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, to 92 Johnson Avenue, Winthrop, Massachusetts. [8] Plath's mother, Aurelia, with Plath's maternal grandparents, the Schobers, had lived since 1920 in a section of Winthrop called Point Shirley, a location mentioned in Plath's poetry. While living in Winthrop, eight-year-old Plath published her first poem in the Boston Herald 's children's section. [9] Over the next few years, Plath published multiple poems in regional magazines and newspapers. [10] At age 11, Plath began keeping a journal. [10] In addition to writing, she showed early promise as an artist, winning an award for her paintings from the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards in 1947. [11] "Even in her youth, Plath was ambitiously driven to succeed." [10]

Sylvia Plath (1932–1963) was an American author and poet. Plath is primarily known for her poetry, but earned her greatest reputation for her semi-autobiographical novel The Bell Jar, published pseudonymously weeks before her death. At the end of this section, the editors have appended a note stating that journals no longer exist (if they ever did) for the two years following Plath’s suicide attempt, so that while the dates given are 1950 to 1955, the final entry is dated July 14, 1953. This two-year gap is the first that readers will bemoan, since ideas for The Bell Jar and many poems originated from this time.Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams: Short Stories, Prose, and Diary Excerpts (1977, Faber and Faber) Steinberg, Peter K.

Pleas abound for “some man, who is a father.” In a particularly enlightening entry written on Mother’s Day, 1958, Plath discusses the possibility of using “Full Fathom Five,” the title of one of her poems, as a book title because of the importance of the sea as a central metaphor in her work, the father as “buried male muse and god—creator risen to be my mate in Ted, to the sea-father Neptune.” She continues, “so the river flows to the paternal source of godhead.” After Otto's death, Aurelia moved her children and her parents to 26 Elmwood Road, Wellesley, Massachusetts, in 1942. [7] Plath commented in "Ocean 1212-W", one of her final works, that her first nine years "sealed themselves off like a ship in a bottle—beautiful, inaccessible, obsolete, a fine, white flying myth". [5] [13] Plath attended Bradford Senior High School (now Wellesley High School) in Wellesley, graduating in 1950. [5] Just after graduating from high school, she had her first national publication in the Christian Science Monitor.
