One of the most important poets of this period is Sylvia Plath (1932-1963), who committed suicide at a young age. She writes about loneliness, pain and death, as exemplified in the following poem: “I am inhabited by a cry Nightly it flaps out Looking, with its hooks, for something to love. I am terrified by this dark thing That sleeps in me; All day, I feel its soft, feathery turnings, its malignity.” Due to the theme and style of her poems, she has been compared to the poet:


a) Anne Bradstreet.
b) Emily Dickinson.
c) Elizabeth Bishop.
d) Nikki Giovanni.
e) Maya Angelou.
