  Sylvia Plath and Nilgün Marmara... Two female poets of distinct geographies, cultures, societies and periods followed a life with distinct sufferings and scars, but they produced similar poetries with the same wish and outcry for death. And in the end, both poets said their last words in the face of life through suicide. Indeed, there is this passionate bridge between these two poets since Marmara was a keen admirer of Plath's poetry and art.
  And today, standing on this very bridge, this book renders a detailed comparative reading and analysis on their poetry within the context of the psychoanalytical perspectives to death and self-destruction. Through the psychoanalysis of their poetical lines that are intermingled with pains and traumas centered around the obsession of death and self-destruction, this book traces and unearths the mutual poetical mechanisms of the unconscious and the human psyche that turn the poetry of both poets into 'art of dying' as in the wording of Plath and 'swan songs' as in the wording of Marmara. Psychoanalyzing their poetic personas in their 'art of dying', this book highlights how Plath and Marmara became both the victims and the victors of their 'swans songs' via various psychological scars and existential dilemmas.
