Toklas. The Betty and Veronica theme appears again in a set of paper dolls Plath made as a child, one fair, the other dark, both wearing vintage underpinnings and surrounded bygd a constellations of gowns fit for a Jane Austen character.

    But much of the artwork reflects an inner turmoil that will be familiar to readers of her poetry and prose. In one drawing from Plath’s teenage years, a blonde figure sits at her desk, crying and reading; in a thought bubble above her head we can see that she’s imagining a grisly scen from World War inom. A vaguely Cubist portrait from her senior year of high school shows a woman whose face is divided into jagged planes, one side in shadow, the other illuminated. In a pamphlet that accompanies the show, its curators refer to the face as “mask-like.” That word resurfaces in a 1953 journal entry, also on display. Nestled a

    In February, I was looking at some photographs of Sylvia Plath and I was seeing very similar hair styles as the photos were all taken within a few months in 1956. But one of the images made me pause. I was looking at it and looking at it when, of a sudden, it hit me that her hair part was on the left (thus backwards).
