The Essay - Helen Mort on Sylvia Plath
Download Helen Mort on Sylvia Plath
Five more writers go on five reflective, restorative and often playful journeys in search of the final resting places of their literary heroes.
Today Helen Mort ventures up a Yorkshire hill to find Sylvia Plath’s much-vandalised gravestone, a battleground for those claiming the American poet's contested legacy.
Born in Sheffield, Mort is an award-winning poet and novelist.
Producer: Ciaran Bermingham
