PLATH SYLVIA: (1932-1963) American Poet, wife of Ted Hughes from 1956 until her death. A fine, original black pen and ink drawing, unsigned, one page, oblong 8vo, n.p., n.d. Plath has drawn a well executed sketch of a tea kettle, the lid of which is slightly ajar. Annotated and signed to the verso in pencil 'By Sylvia Plath, Ted Hughes' by her husband, the English Poet Laureate. Any original item in the hand of Plath is extremely rare and desirable as a result of the poet's tragic suicide at the age of 30. EX The present drawing is one of just a small handful by Plath in existence, and most likely dates from the late 1950s, shortly after her marriage to Hughes. The poet was an artist of some talent, and Hughes wrote of her artistic nature in Birthday Letters - 'Drawing calmed you. Your poker infernal pen Was like a branding iron. Objects Suffered into their new presence, tortured Into final position. As you drew I felt released, calm. Time opened When you drew the market at Benidorm. I sat near you, scribbling something. Hours burned away. The stall-keepers Kept coming to see you had them properly. We sat on those steps in our rope-soles, And were happy…' -'Drawing'
