Sylvia Plath published two poems in the 6 November 1959 issue of TLS (Times Literary Supplement). They appeared just at the end of her time at Yaddo, and mere weeks before she sailed from New York back to England, for good. The TLS is a large format periodical printed on newspaper paper. Back in 1959 the issues were very big, certainly much bigger than it is today.This title is harder to come by, and indeed I believe its format also makes it more difficult to find in the original. But I was able to locate and acquire a copy recently with the help of some "tip" money a few kind people sent. See, I told you I would use it for Plath stuff! How I am going to store it is a question since it is a bigger item and the paper rather more fragile (acidic, brittle) than the kind used in magazines and journals.
The two poems were "The Hermit at Outermost House" and "Two Views of a Cadaver Room". Plath submitted them sometime in 1959; just when is not known. They were accepted, however, in a 6 July 1959 letter to her from editor Alan Pryce-Jones. When the letter was received, Plath and Hughes were on their cross country trip of North America; and it must have been welcome news when she received it (as were all publication acceptances).See a gallery of covers of publications in which Plath's work appeared on A celebration, this is.
