"I / Have a self to recover": the restored Ariel

Literary Review, Summer, 2005 by Lee Upton

And yet ultimately the publication of Plath's original manuscript shows us its author as a consciously evolving artist who arranged her poems to tell the story of a journey through a psychic crisis to a vision of appetite and release. Ariel: The Restored Edition reminds us that Plath's poetry is not a record of fate but a matter of choices.

It allows her art to speak again, this time with another ending.
