Sylvia Plath Symposium in April

If you're a local alumna, or within driving distance--or just a big Sylvia Plath fan--you may want to plan a trip to campus for the Sylvia Plath 75th Year Symposium scheduled for April 25-26th.

NewsSmith reports that "Smith senior Aubrey Menard is organizing a Sylvia Plath symposium for the Smith community...the event is part of her special studies project on Plath." Menard was a presenter at the international Plath symposium at Oxford University last October. (How odd--an over achiever at Smith...)

It really should be something special. Events include an evening panel with family and friends, including Plath's Smith roommate and her college boyfriend, and talks on everything from Plath and the moon to Plath and war.
