her poem. The confessional voice is evident in all
three, b...

Black No Sky Tongue Stuck In My Jaw Man

Sylvia Plath uses her poem, Daddy, to express deep
emotions toward her fathers life and death. With
passionate articulation, she verbally turns over
her feelings of rage, abandonment, confusion and
grief. Though this work is fraught with ambiguity,
