Sylvia Plath (1932–1963): A Profound Voice in Confessional Poetry
Life and Background Sylvia Plath was born on October 27, 1932, in Boston, Massachusetts, to Otto Plath, a German-born professor of entomology, and Aurelia Schober Plath, a second-generation Austrian-American. Her early years were marked by academic brilliance and creativity, but also by emotional challenges. Plath’s father died when she was just eight years old, a loss that deeply affected her and became a recurring theme in her poetry.

He comes home a crewless ship, beached on wood planks and rocks, boots dragging seaweed on sandy carpet. No shoes in the home! but it’s too late; waves have engulfed the ship; it is swaying and virtually gone back

Succinct
It started with a smile Sealed with a wink Oh, to be succinct How do you put all your love into one day When it’s as broad as a rainbow

Love in 50 Words
A rose blooms soft, its petals true, In crimson shades of love’s own hue. For hearts entwined or standing free, This day’s a gift for you and me. Be it romance, friendship, or self's embrace, Love finds its form, its time, its space. A fleeting moment, a timeless grace, eternal.

Rivers of Time
Time, a river, unceasing, untamed, A silent current, no course proclaimed. It slips through fingers, unseen, yet near, A fleeting whisper we strain to hear.

Echoes of the Empty Soul
In the stillness of a hollowed night, Where shadows linger beyond the light, A silence grows, an endless sea, A quiet void that swallows me.

Maya Angelou: The Voice of Resilience and Empowerment
Early Life and Challenges Maya Angelou was born as Marguerite Annie Johnson on April 4, 1928, in St. Louis, Missouri. Her older brother, Bailey Jr., nicknamed her "Maya," derived from calling her "My Sister." Her childhood was marked by turbulence and trauma. At the age of eight, Maya was sexually assaulted by her mother’s boyfriend. Following this, she stopped speaking for nearly five years, believing her words had caused his death after he was killed shortly after she revealed what had happened. During this period of silence, she developed a deep love for literature, memorizing works by Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, and Black poets like Paul Laurence Dunbar.

Fragments of Nothing
Once, there was a man named Jacob, and once, he had everything. A house that smelled of fresh bread and old books, a wife named Clara who filled the rooms with warmth, and a son, Liam, whose laughter was the melody that played through their every morning. Jacob had dreamed once—dreamed of growing old beside Clara, watching Liam’s first steps, his first words, his first heartbreak.

Edgar Allan Poe: The Master of Macabre
Poe briefly attended the University of Virginia in 1826, where his promising academic career was cut short due to financial difficulties and mounting gambling debts. After a tumultuous stint in the military and an unsuccessful attempt at a West Point education, Poe turned his focus entirely to writing—a pursuit that would define his life, albeit fraught with struggles for stability and recognition.

Why humanness in its virtue fails
Grieving through the breathing crevices of my mourning soul, I propelled through piercing glances of the ones who chose to score their goal.
