This semester I’m helping curate an exhibition on the visual work of various authors at the Lilly Library on Indiana University’s campus. It will feature pieces by Kurt Vonnegut, Henry Miller, Charles Bukowski and other authors whose artwork is housed in the Lilly’s extensive collection. Right now, I’m responsible for sifting through the myriad of work we have by Sylvia Plath. Today I started looking through some of her diaries, many in which she loved to include illustrations of dreams and bits of her day-to-day life. Here is an illustration of a nightmare she had where she was being chased by a hot dog and a marshmallow.
