News at Eleven: Now cast an eye over these wonderful drawings.

You wouldn't connect them with that poetry at all. And you wouldn't connect them, either, with the prose [Sylvia] Plath, the psychotic bobbysoxer of The Bell Jar. With these drawings, we get a third Sylvia Plath. You might notice that--at least in the selection on show--human figures are few and far between. Apart from a profile sketch of Hughes there are two, both turned away, one of them with a hand in an anxious clutch.

from The Guardian: These drawings give us a whole new Sylvia Plath--sprightly, witty and fun
then The Mayor Gallery: Sylvia Plath; Her Drawings
then The Independent: Sylvia Plath: Her Drawings, The Mayor Gallery, London
