The seventh movement‚ called ‘The Sick Moon‚’ gave me chills‚ as it was able to inject devastation in me.

futurist‚ unconventional free verse poem‚ “Moreover‚ The Moon‚” (1982‚ The Last Lunar Baedeker) exposes the oppressive and controlling nature of the patriarchy on women’s lives and argues that women cannot truly be‚ or even know‚ themselves while this social institution maintains so much power over them.

THE MOON AND THE YEW TREE Sylvia Plath This poem fundamentally details how Sylvia Plath sees her life‚ through the metaphors and images she was so fond of. By using the word "planetary" in the first line‚ we gain a sense of how she saw her role in the world - still part of the solar system‚ but living in her own world‚ disconnected and distanced from everyone else.
