Силвија Плат во македонски контекст (Половина век од самоубиството на Силвија Плат)
SYLVIA PLATH IN MACEDONIAN CONTEXT (50 years since Sylvia Plath`s suicide)

Summary/Abstract: The article outlines Sylvia Plath biography, facts about her suicide and a review of what the world is talking about this celebrated American poet, women fiction writer and yournalist. Special emphasis is placed on the reception of Plath's work in Macedonia. It concludes that in Macedonia Irena Pavlova de Odorico deals with the work of Plath in a most systematic way, on literary plan, and Christina Zimberova on art and translation plan. Although this is a poet who cannot be placed in the mainstream impacts in Macedonia, Sylvia Plath is an obsessive theme for these two women. Hence, we can draw two general conclusions on the question of how the Macedonians/Macedonian women talk about Sylvia Plath: - Sylvia Plath is seen in the Macedonian context as a symbol of faith in the power of art and spirituality. This belief is interpreted as a conscious, premeditated and rational decision to sacrifice life and to hear the voice of poetry that has something to say - Sylvia Plath in the Macedonian context is related to autobiography-psychological novel as a genre which places the individual on the first place - Sylvia Plath in the Macedonian context encourages gender-sensitive reviews to erase the dust and to remove the lyrics of Macedonian poets of the past from oblivion.
