Sylvia Plath (1932–1963) was an American author and poet. Plath is primarily known for her poetry, but earned her greatest reputation for her semi-autobiographical novel The Bell Jar, published pseudonymously weeks before her death.

Plath published dozens of poems, including:

• "Daddy"
• "Lady Lazarus"
• "Mad Girl's Love Song"
• "The Munich Mannequins"
• "Tulips"
• "Two Lovers and a Beachcomber by the Real Sea"

Plath published only one book in her lifetime—the novel The Bell Jar—but several collected editions of her poetry, short stories, letters, and children's books were published posthumously.

• The Bell Jar (1963), under the pseudonym "Victoria Lucas"
• The Bed Book (children's book – 1976)
• The It-Doesn't-Matter-Suit (children's book – 1996)
• Collected Children's Stories (children's book – 2001)
• Mrs. Cherry's Kitchen (children's book – 2001)

Several of Plath's letters and her personal journal were published after her death. Most of her manuscripts are held in the Cambridge and Indiana University libraries.
