The earliest appearance is in the January 1957 issue of Poetry, which includes six poems, and the latest appearance is in Works In Progress No. 2, 1971, which includes four poems and a short story. An impressive collection of periodicals featuring appearances by one of the greatest American poets of the twentieth century, spanning Plath's start as a writer through her tragic death and early posthumous publications.
