A Poem by Sylvia Plath By Robert Hass March 15, 1998 The appearance of Ted Hughes's Birthday Letters has gotten so much attention in the press that even my local baker asked me about it the other morning when I stopped for coffee.

It is based on an intricate rhyme scheme and a schematic repetition of key lines. The effect is ...
