Winter Trees
Winter Trees | Sylvia Plath
15 posts | 7 read | 11 to read
The poems in this collection were all written in the last nine months of Sylvia Plath's life, and form part of a group from which the Ariel poems were chosen. Her radio play 'Three Women', also included here, was written slightly earlier, in the transitional period of The Colossus and Ariel. 'A book that anyone seriously interested in poetry now must have . . . Sylvia Plath's immense gift is evident throughout.' Martin Dodsworth in the Guardian

Finished this one this morning. My #DoubleSpin from December. I‘ll have to see if I can find the audio recording of Three Women 👌

Thanks for the tag @vivastory
1. Not so much unusual as the kind of job you'd expect to find in an Agatha Christie book: in college I worked as a typist for a well-to-do fortune teller couple. They had a lavish apartment filled with antiques; I was served coffee & delicious finger food each time. I transcribed case notes & learned that people have a MULTITUDE of problems.
2. Meeting people I haven't seen in so long

#ThankfulThursday @Cosmos_Moon

batsy Tagging anyone who'd like to play & for whom it's still Thursday 🙂 4y
vivastory I'm gonna just sit here patiently waiting for your novel/memoir about #1! 😄 4y
Palimpsest @batsy Sounds intriguing! 4y

LeahBergen That is the coolest job EVER. 4y
Ruthiella I‘m gonna say that working for a fortune teller in any capacity is definitely on the odd side of jobs! 4y
Tanisha_A I am with @vivastory on this. 😃 4y
merelybookish So intrigued! 🔮 4y
Mrs_B Yep I'm with @vivastory and @Tanisha_A too, this sounds like it needs to be a book! Fascinating! 4y
batsy @vivastory @Tanisha_A @Mrs_B Hahaha, it is perfect material for a book but I just know I wouldn't do it justice 😆 4y
batsy @Palimpsest @LeahBergen @merelybookish @Ruthiella It was *very* interesting and weird and memorable 😅 4y
Crazeedi Sounds like a cool job 4y
batsy @Crazeedi It was! 4y
Cathythoughts 2. .... ❤️💔so good to meet up with family & friends 4y
Cathythoughts That was an amazing job ! Wow 4y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I like that you think any job for a fortune teller isn't weird! 🤣🤣🤣 That is fantastic and now my favorite thing about you. Start writing! 4y
batsy @Cathythoughts Indeed... We've opened up so that now we're venturing out a bit but fears of a new wave are still present. So I feel like I've got to see people before I'm unable to see them again? 😢❤️ 4y
batsy @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Hahaha! I think I thought it strange but once I started the mundane practicalities were just like any other desk job 😂 4y

Spent part of last week in Charleston and found this 300 year old Live Oak. If each branch was a book, how happy we would be to sit and wonder. #LitsyMusings

DebBates101 So beautiful! I am picturing each of us sitting on a branch reading 7y
TaylorMay I know oaks aren't good for climbing but I just want to curl up in that tree with a good book 😍 7y

"The wet dawn inks are doing their blue dissolve. 
On their blotter of fog the trees 
Seem a botanical drawing - 
Memories growing, ring on ring, 
A series of weddings." #Winter Trees #QuotsyDec17

DebinHawaii Beautiful 💙 7y
batsy "The wet dawn inks are doing their blue dissolve" is a perfect line ? 7y

Drnkpnkprincess I want to get a pink tree for all my old Barbie ornaments... or maybe white tinsel? But something about the pink just seems fitting! 7y
Christine11 So cute! 7y

Andrea4 It is indeed! Do you live somewhere hot? 7y
bookloo @Eggs Me too! ☺️♥️ 7y
bookloo @Andrea4 I do! Texas in fact. I‘ve heard there are tree farms around, I‘ve just never been. I feel like I‘m missing out on that amazing pine smell I keep hearing about. 😕 7y
Andrea4 That's so sad! You should find one and go for sure! 7y
bookloo @Andrea4 I think I will this time! Maybe this or next weekend! Long time coming. ☺️♥️ 7y
Andrea4 Definitely! 7y
mrp27 Love it! 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks It‘s so cute!!! Wow!!! You can buy them here at grocery stores and Walmart ☺️🎄 (edited) 7y
bookloo @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Real Christmas trees? :o 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @bookloo yes, they have them outside Walmart and Kroger! I‘ll take a pic 🎄 7y
CAnne @bookloo I live in Texas and we've always had a real tree up until the last couple of years. We've gone to tree farms and cut our own or some years bought one already cut from vendors selling them in store parking lots. 7y
RadicalReader @bookloo not a more perfect Christmas tree is in existence 7y

@Tiffy_Reads hit 3K!!! Congrats!!!!
My tree might be a little thin and sparse this year, but it's still better than last year's asshole tree that refused to light up 😊 My kids did the decorating today. Trying to get in the holiday spirit! If you look closely, you might find a Ninja Turtle or two there somewhere 😁
