My favorite of Plath's is "Lady Lazarus". I can't stand "Daddy". This one for me lies somewhere in the middle.
I often think that poets like Plath, Sexton, and Millay (and even Dickinson) endure because the body of their work speaks volumes regarding the human condition, and they were writing about things women thought but dared not speak at the time. I am not enamored with all the poetry any of them penned, but I do continue to read the ones I covet.

PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
