Sylvia Plath's "Gold Mouths Cry"

from The Daily Poem · host Sean Johnson

In today’s poem, Plath (who died at 30) contrasts the transience of youth and nature with the seeming permanence of art and artifice. (I even make time for a brief shout-out to a not-so-transitory Golden Mouth.) Happy reading. This is a public episode.
