First Edition of Sylvia Plath’s Poem “A Winter Ship” — One of Only 60 Copies Extant, Personally Owned by Sylvia Plath
Sylvia Plath (/plæθ/; October 27, 1932 – February 11, 1963) was an American poet, novelist, and short-story writer. She is credited with advancing the genre of confessional poetry and is best known for two of her published collections, The Colossus and Other Poems (1960) and Ariel (1965), as well as The Bell Jar, a semi-autobiographical novel published shortly before her death in 1963. The Collected Poems were published in 1981, which included previously unpublished works. For this collection Plath was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in Poetry in 1982, making her the fourth to receive this honour posthumously. Plath was clinically depressed for most of her adult life, and was treated multiple times with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). She killed herself in 1963.
Scarce copy of Sylvia Plath’s first separately published work, “A Winter Ship”, describing a Bostonian wharf in winter with precise and evocative detail. Edinburgh: The Tragara Press, 1960. Plath was reportedly delighted with the design of the booklet, which is one of only 60 copies, each listing the title of the poem without her authorship. Two page poem is printed on a sheet on laid paper with deckled edge, housed in marbled wrappers with title label pasted on front. Measures 5.5″ x 8.625″. Near fine condition. Originally owned by Sylvia Plath, and from the estate of Frieda Hughes. Sold for $3,000.
