"I desire the things which will destroy me in the end." 

—Sylvia Plath

Welcome to the Confessional Poets Archive, a small collective celebrating some of the most prominent and renowned confessional poets (also oftentimes known as "dark" poets) in our history.

This collective is maintained by a group of four dedicated Claremont Graduate University (CGU) alumni, each with numerous eclectic, varied research interests and teaching concentrations, a commonality of which includes confessionalism in poetics.

The archive is currently offline for site renovations, as well as a server & hosting shift. We’ll be back soon! Thank you for visiting!

Stay safe. See you again, soon. Love you all!
