Poetry's Power Through Discovery and Transformation

Resky's poems in the 1940s influenced American poetics by focusing on self-discovery and unfolding psychological processes, avoiding didacticism. Plath, inspired by Resky, found vitality in his organic, psychic energy, evident in her works like 'Ariel' and 'Tulips'. Resky's incorporation of Jungian archetypes in poetics resonated with Plath, shaping her poetic transformation.
