The Serious World is a collection of epistolary poems written to Sylvia Plath about depression, therapy, friendship, family, and the struggling life of an artist. With humor, sensitivity, and deep reflection, Laura Read explores many themes including mental health, suicide, loss, feminism, motherhood, and aging, offering a fresh view of the world as seen through the feminist poet’s searching spyglass.
Reaching back into history to talk withPlath and other historical figures who have suffered and wrote about theirsuffering, Read tries to make sense of what it’s like to be alive and sufferingnow. These deeply felt poems include language from Plath’s The BellJar and poems about Marguerite Duras and Simone de Beauvoir, along with otherstrange bedfellows from pop culture who make appearances, among them KennyRogers, Dr. Seuss, Kurt Cobain, and Courtney Love.
