I\\u2019d never heard of Lee Kravetz until a friend recommended I read his fascinating new book called\\xa0The Last Confessions of Sylvia P. Kravetz, who started out as a psychologist, always wanted to be a writer.\\xa0He became fascinated with\\xa0The Bell Jar\\xa0author Sylvia Plath, who nearly 60 years after her death has remained a towering figure in the world of poetry. I talked to Lee Kravetz about the birth of confessional poetry and why he\\u2019s so fascinated by the connection between madness and art. \\u201cNow What?\\u201d is produced with the help of Steve Zimmer, Annika Hoeim and Alex Wolfe. Audio production is by Nick Ciavatta.
