"Lady Lazarus"

In my essay "’The Catastrophe of My Personality’: Frank O’Hara, Don Draper, and the Poetics of Mad Men" (Reading Mad Men. Ed. Gary Edgerton. Reading Contemporary Television Series. London: I. B. Tauris, 2010), I briefly speculate about the possible intersections of 1960s poet Sylvia Plath and the series.


I didn't realize then that a Season Five episode (last Sunday) would borrow the name of one of Plath's most famous poems.

Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bledel) talks about her role in "Lady Lazarus" in Slate.
