In 1956, at the age of 23, Sylvia Plath met and married Ted Hughes, an English poet. While they honeymooned in Paris and Spain she produced a body of pen-and-ink drawings, 44 of which are now showing in London. It is the first time they have been seen in public. Read more here.

glazes the window of my hurt; what solace
can be struck from rock to make heart's waste
grow green again? Who'd walk in this bleak place?
