- Abstract
The article presents an overview of various poems by Sylvia Plath. Plath's late poetry that has yet to be examined adequately by numerous scholars and critics of her work, her technique, her precise manipulations of syntax, rhyme, and structure to enact complex themes in her late work. The original handwritten drafts of one of her poems named "Little Fugue" document how Plath struggled to arrive at this different strategy of handling diction, syntax, and sound. Other poems discussed in the article are "Medusa" which was written on October 16,1962 and "Daddy," which was written four days later.
