Hey John, good to see you again.

Could I also mention the forward by her daughter?

And her thoughts in the interview in the back of the book, or is that gonna wait till the end as well?

Yeah, you don't have to bleep out the word Friday so

I just wanted to say I I like the forward.

It was very thoughtful without being overly sentimental.

It acknowledged the double edged sword of having Sylvia Plath as a as a mother.

First you have this enormous legacy, these incredible poems that she's written.

And then of course the nature of her death, the timing, the circumstances.

And how young she was when she lost her mother and had to go live with her I I'm guessing with obviously her father.

And I guess whoever he was with at the time, I I think it was Ozzy Weevil.

And then really only coming to grips with everything when you are older.

And as she's an artist, a very good artist.

I've seen her work.

It's wonderful.

And a quite a good poet.

Then creating your own work outside of that.

I don't think it's easy, but she seems to have navigated it with a lot of grace and intelligence and thoughtfulness.

I don't think she's out to vilify her father, just say, This is what happened.

This is what I remember.
