The Secret Behind Plath's Poem "A Secret"

Click here to learn how Sylvia Plath's poem "A Secret" gives a nod to mystic writer/poet Lawrence Durrell's great work, The Alexandria Quartet. This is a Guest Blog on the Sylvia Plath Info Blog site, with a link directly to the PowerPoint presentation I gave this past June at Goodenough College in London, England for the Lawrence Durrell Centenary.

Because the focus is on Durrell, I do not go into great detail on the first five facets of Plath's poem, but I have included the briefest overview to give you an understanding as to how the pieces fit within the mystical system.
