‘Full Fathom Five’ (1958) by Sylvia Plath

S3E68 Today, I'm analysing Sylvia Plath's poem Full Fathom Five, written in 1958 and eventually collected in her book The Colossus. Taking its title from Shakespeare's The Tempest, Full Fathom Five is full of classic Plath imagery: the seldom-surfacing sea-god muse, the lost father and the seascape of her childhood.  If you enjoy my work and would like to support Ear Read This, you can do so here: https://ko-fi.com/earreadthis Merchandise!  https://ear-read-this.creator-spring.com/   Title Music: 'Not Drunk' by The Joy Drops.
