Who was Sylvia Plath was the $1200 question on Jeopardy today. Of course, that 2005 drawing is no longer the only known drawing of Ted Hughes by Sylvia Plath. There are at least three known drawings of Ted Hughes, drawn by Plath, as I wrote about last November in my catalogue review of Sylvia Plath: Her Drawings . And speaking of three's, especially since Plath loved things in three's, this is the third time, at least, in three years that Plath has been on Jeopardy! The sketch in question (or answer) can be seen here .

Sylvia Plath was the $800 answer today on Jeopardy's category "Verse Case Scenario". The best part is, the guy that got it right's first name was Buddy! Sorry about the flash glare. For those concerned, the line is "Dying is an art..."  This is Plath's second recent appearance on Jeopardy .
