On Sylvia Plath's birthday, I'm remembering last year's #PlathFest! Such a fantastic gathering of poets, scholars, and Plath afficianados; it was an honour to play a part in making it happen.

Fascinating to see the legacy of #AssiaWevill who was part of the advertising team that developed the slogan "exceedingly good cakes" for Mr Kipling cakes #SylviaPlath #TedHughes

A wonderful programme about Plath’s love of Yeats and a trip to Ireland that might have been a new beginning, featuring that wonderful recording of Plath reading ‘Black Rook in Rainy Weather’. Well worth a listen on @RTElyricfm
