Grief of Influence - Clark, Heather (Professor of Literature at Marlboro College and Adjunct Instructor of Irish Studies at NYU's Glucksman Ireland House)

The Grief of Influence follows Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes through alternating periods of collaboation and competition, showing how each poet forged a voice both through and against the other's, and offering a new assessment of the twentieth century's most important poetic partnership.
