Finding the hidden gems of the poetry world is easy if you simply know how and where to look. Writer like Sylvia Plath and Robert Browning have been writing beautiful works for many years, though not many know about any of their poems aside from the famous texts. These writers have a lot more under their belts than meets the eye, which is why it is important to educate readers on exactly what these talented folks have written in their careers.

Sylvia Plath is mainly known for her novel, “The Bell Jar.” Many people realized that she was also a poet, but not a lot of people remember much of her prose. These people would do very well to pick up one of her anthologies and read “Bitter Strawberries,” “April 21,” “Stillborn” and “Sonnet to Satan” for a taste of what she was truly great at.

As for Robert Browning, fewer people are talking about this great poet. It seems that many people remember his first poem, “Pauline,” but no one ever talks about his epic “Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came.” This is one of the most fascinating poems written during that time period and it really should get more attention. Just some food for thought.
