Sylvia Plath (October 27, 1932 – February 11, 1963) was an American poet and author. She is widely regarded as a leading example of the confessional poetry movement. Her work, known for its intense emotion and imagery, explored themes of death, rebirth, female identity, and mental illness. Plath’s poems, including “Daddy” and “Lady Lazarus,” are celebrated for their technical brilliance and fierce honesty. (Wikipedia)
