Day 3 - A book with a colour in the title.
Red Comet The Short Life and Blazing Art of Sylvia Plath by Heather Clark.
I've read many Plath biographies. This, I would say, is the definitive. It's absolutely superb.

Pure? What does it mean?
The tongues of hell
Are dull, dull as the triple
Tongues of dull, fat Cerberus
Who wheezes at the gate. Incapable
Of licking clean
The aguey tendon, the sin, the sin.
The tinder cries.
The indelible smell
Of a snuffed candle!
