(1) YA In this fictionalized biography in verse, Hemphill channels the romantic version of Sylvia. The majority of the poems are putatively composed by the people who knew Plath; the remainder are identified as the author "Imagining Sylvia Plath." Hemphill is metrically adept and possesses Plath's eye for figurative language. Her verse, like Plath's, is completely compelling: every word, every line, worth reading.
