I'm reminded of Ted Hughes - how he was this celebrated poet laureate, and in his private life, two of his partners - wife Sylvia Plath and mistress Assia Wevill - killed themselves by suicide. I read about it as a young person, who was kind of obsessed with Plath, and refused to read any of his work. Now I want to, realising life is so complicated and there are no easy answers.

I too was kind of obsessed with Plath, and like you I didn't read his work either - thinking of her. There are no easy answers to anything, I feel. x
