"Eye Rhymes provides extraordinary new insights into the mind of the young Sylvia Plath and the artistic processes she employed throughout her life." "Paintings, drawings, diaries, letters, and photographs from the Lilly and Mortimer archives published here for the first time, reveal the depth of Plath's engagement with the visual arts from childhood through to her years as a professional writer. The book offers a myriad of fresh perspectives on Plath's creative energy, revealing unexpected themes and ideas that first saw light in visual form, to be reborn later in her greatest poetry."--Jacket
