A Very Sylvia Plath Christmas

Back in 2009, I made an Otto Plath cookie.  I decided to make this year, 2011, a very Sylvia Plath Christmas. ** 

Inspired by "The Applicant,"

"We make new stock from the salt."



And, further inspired by "Daddy,"

Every woman adores a Fascist,
The boot in the face, the brute
Brute heart of a brute like you.




And...

There's a stake in your fat black heart
And the villagers never liked you.
They are dancing and stamping on you.
