![]() By Alberto Grand, Senior Ambition. Towers of voices. They climb inside my ears And reach deep within my head. Field’s crow, Through the corn, closer, it moves No time. The Fray-- Lingers from afar. With no means to go back Incandescent and bright. Hands-- Cupping the brain, Tightening my shoulders. As blood spills Down my arms, The crow quivers, no longer Can fly. Bet it all In hope-- In means of getting along With the dead crow That dulls my skull. Holistically, I cannot think, Or get it off my mind. Tenacious, persistent-- To get it off my mind. According to the Poetry Foundation, Sylvia Plath (1932–1963) is an American poet and novelist. Plath is known for her bizarre, deep, and ominous poetry. At age 20 she was diagnosed with clinical depression and dealt with this for most of her adult life, which historians and other writers link to her troubled relationship with her husband, Ted Hughes Plath took her own life at age 30 by carbon monoxide intoxication. A few of her famous works can be listed, such as “Ariel,” “Daddy,” The Colossus and Other Poems, and her first novel The Bell Jar. Some of her works were also published after her death. These works, alongside her story and representation of her mental health, intrigued many people. “Sylvia Plath.” The Poetry Foundation. 2019, https://www.poetryfoundation.org/ poets/sylvia-plath
