"A dynamic guide through Sylvia Plath's life, fiction, and poetry. Grisafi's fresh take on Plathian themes like politics, mental health, and sexual violence prove time and time again that Sylvia Plath is not only relevant, but necessary." -- Elizabeth Winder, author of Pain, Parties, Work: Sylvia Plath in New York, Summer 1953
"Breaking Down Plath is a concise, effective, and highly accessible introduction to the work of Sylvia Plath. Skilfully drawing across Plath's complete body of work, Grisafi places this important twentieth-century writer in her social and cultural context, but equally shows why she is still relevant today. Readers of this book will take away a strong flavor of Plath's brilliance and undoubtedly want to read more." -- Dr. Gail Crowther, author of Three-Martini Afternoons at The Ritz: The Rebellion of Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton.
"Breaking Down Sylvia Plath does for young fans of Plath what Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You has done for young people looking for a complex explanation of another distinctly American phenomenon. It's the kind of book I would have read and reread in junior high, grateful for a sympathetic depiction of someone who was already one of my heroes. Grisafi's savvy selection of Plath's poems gives us a rich context for a woman whose work has too-often been pathologized and misread, two trends Grisafi not only avoids, but reevaluates in whip-smart prose. I was amazed at the ground she covered in barely 100 pages. I loved this book." -- Emily Van Duyne
