Falling for Plath: Embracing the Season with Poetry, Reflection and Change

As the season shifts from summer to fall, we see other elements around us shifting. Our peers’ clothes shift as more skin is covered to protect from the cool breeze entering campus. Tanned skin from the summer fades away as we spend more time in the confines of the library, completing and utterly dedicated to the task due at 11:59 p.m. 

We are no different from the poets, writers, and brilliant academics who came well before us. We are always in a constant state of revising, editing, shifting, and evolving. Slyvia Plath is a perfect person to reference and learn more about in the upcoming fall weather. 

Poetry in the fall, especially when Cornell’s campus is filled with fall foliage, is a great and enriching pastime.
