The first book features five of Plath's works: "The Glutton", "Maudlin", "Metaphors", "The Hanging Man", and "Winter Trees". Let's say for example that in "The Glutton" that you did not like Plath's line-ending verb "slake"... Well, now you, the reader, can revise the poem yourself! Yee-haw! The entire poetic output of Plath is scheduled to be Plath-Libbed in a projected 2,999 more five-poem publications over the next 27 years.
The first book is available as a free PDF download for a limited time. Subsequent volumes will be sold exclusively at Wal-Mart for $17.99.
The cover was inspired by the unanimous success and support of the Faber edition of The Letters of Sylvia Plath, Volume 1.

Ha ha ha. He he he. I'm the laughing clown and you can't hatch me.
I was sitting here actually thinking about which words I would use to change her poems. Har har.
I love that you actually put together that pdf!
Thanks for your comments. I don't feel this is my best April Fool's post ever but I had fun doing it. The hardest part, I think, was trying to figure out the right parts of speech and that primarily because I can barely construct a proper sentence on a really good day... ~pks
Thank goodness I read the comments before I threw off a random who thinks of such madness -:)
To quote my good friend, Crow: "Me, evidently".
