Sylvia Plath
b. 10-27-1932; Boston
d. 2-11-1963; London
A Troubled Genius - Few poets in the 20th century literature could match the lyricism and emotional intensity of Sylvia Plath's work. Afflicted with bipolar disorder, Plath transformed her inner turmoil into poems full of sadness, anger, and beauty– combining a sense of profound loss with surprising personal strength. Though she lived only a short time, Plath not only inspired admiration and imitation – she also helped launch an emerging feminist movement.

Alexander Pope and his dog, Bounce
b. 5-22-1688; England
d. 5-30-1744
Alexander Pope, generally regarded as the greatest English poet of the eighteenth century, is said to be the third most frequently quoted writer in the English language, after Shakespeare and Tennyson.
His words,"Education forms the common mind. Just as the twig is bent, the tree's inclined", taken with his biography of being denied an education because he was Catholic, has special poigancy.
His Great Dane Bounce may have inspired "Histories are more full of examples of fidelity of dogs than of friends."

Francois Rabelais, French satirist
b. ca. 1493; France
d. 4-9-1553
Francois Rabelais, French satirist, doctor and humanist in the Renaissance era, used bawdy jokes and songs to make social commentary on the times.
His writing, which kept him under constant threat of being labeled a heretic then, and can even shock readers today, have been a source of inspiration for artists in many genre. Jules Massenet based his opera Panurge on Rabelais work, and Rumplestiltskin is first mentioned in an adaption of of Rabelais' Gargantua and Pantagruel.
