If You're A Scorpio, Here's The Poetry Collection You Should Read
Mia Smith Scorpio suns, Allure explains, are the masters of reinvention, their sign signifying "life, death, and resurrection," and nothing feels as constantly reinvented and reinterpreted as the life and writing of Sylvia Plath.
Brimming with Scorpio energy, Plath's writing is often dismissed as nothing but angst; a woman with too many emotions to be taken seriously, despite all the evidence to the contrary. The evidence was there in Plath's writing, Lit Hub points out: in Plath's journals and the letters to Plath's therapist. Plath was as much a survivor of domestic abuse as she was a revolutionary poet.
Published following her suicide, Plath's "Ariel: Poems" was a collection Plath worked on in the months leading up to her death, per The New Yorker. Darkness, Co-Star Astrology explains, can be a Scorpio's favorite hiding place, but in this collection, you'll find not just company but inspiration for your next resurrection.
Ranking 17 on The Guardian's list of "100 best nonfiction books," Plath's "Ariel: Poems" is described as "a collection of strange, disturbing, and confessional poems whose wild and exhilarating ferocity exerted a remarkable grip on the imagination of [its readers]." This collection, The Guardian explains, breathed fire and life into the mythology surrounding the poet who didn't fear the darkness. If you need your own reinvention, let "Lady Lazarus" — one of Plath's most famous poems, included in "Ariel: Poems" — be the match that starts your own fire.
