Full Bio: Sylvia Plath in New York City and her Struggles with Mental Health
All Of It - A podcast by WNYC
For the February installment of our "Full Bio" series, we take a look at the life and career of the poet Sylvia Plath with Heather Clark, author of the Pulitzer Prize-nominated book, Red Comet: The Short Life and Blazing Art of Sylvia Plath. Today, we talk about the time she visited New York City in the summer of 1953 as a guest editor of Mademoiselle, as well as her struggles with her own mental health which ultimately led to her being admitted to a hospital.
