My Ariel is a collection of poetry that both works against and pulls in the works of Sylvia Plath, as well as her personal life with her husband and children. Mostly, Plath's work and life parallels aspects of the Queyras's life, which makes for an interesting read. I have not read any version of Ariel, though before approaching this book I did know a bit about Plath from reading some other of her works. Combining Ariel and Plath's life with the poet's own experiences didn't take away from either, but added to make an intersection that is a satisfying read.

Enjoyable but a highly personal poetic work that examines life from a postmodern, whimsical and physical perspective. Its not for everyone's taste but I do think there is some value here.

This was a really powerful collection of poetry. I felt like I missed a deeper meaning to many of the poems because I've some read Sylvia Plath before, but I'm not really all that familiar with her work. However, from my surface level reading of My Ariel, it's a powerful and raw collection - the poem that stood out to me the most was 'Daddy.'

A good collection of poems. I'll look forward to more from this author.
