Sylvia Plath's Cats Comments

This tugs at my heartstrings. When you lose someone, you often forget the cats in the corner who suffer a loss. This is really a good poem. I am not crazy about the line comparing Plath to Alaska...not thinking it falls into the whole metaphor, but the sadness and irony of only the cats knowing her seismic energy is masterful. Thanks.

Me, too. I keep coming back to re-read it. There is something very ethereal about this poem.

I love this poem! It is so different. I never would have thought of such an idea... I'm jealous.

I like 'purred nervously' - yep, conveys her instability. Methinks another ten.
