Product details
A Blurby book poster honouring The Colossus and Other Poems — a literary classic by Sylvia Plath, her debut collection exploring loss, myth, and the fragments of memory. This minimalist wall art echoes the stark imagery of poems like 'The Colossus' itself, where the speaker confronts an overwhelming paternal figure among ruins. Perfect for reading nooks, home libraries, or above a study desk — ideal for poetry lovers, English majors, and admirers of confessional verse.
This Blurby edition of The Colossus: And Other Poems is a minimalist book poster — pared back, quietly evocative, focused on the visual motifs that define the novel. Designed for readers who love the essence of the story distilled into a single image. Ideal for reading nooks and curated gallery walls.
✦ Available in three paper finishes: matte, satin, or gloss

Paper sizes are hard to picture. Below, every size we print is hung on the same living room wall, to scale above a 2.2 m sofa, so you can see the real difference between an A4 and an A2 before you order.
Every size, on a real wall
Shown to scale above a 2.2 m sofa, each frame hung 20 cm above the sofa back.

Sizes are the printed paper. A frame adds a border around the print, so a framed piece covers a little more wall than the figures above. Prices for each size are shown on the product page.
Where to hang it
On its own
Hang so the middle of the print sits about 145 cm from the floor. That is eye level for most people and the height galleries use.
Above a sofa or bed
Leave 15 to 25 cm between the top of the furniture and the bottom of the frame, and pick a print roughly two thirds the width of the sofa.
A set of three
Keep 5 to 8 cm between frames and line up their middles. Three A4s or three A3s side by side read as one piece.
A gallery wall
Mix A5 and A4 around one larger A3 or A2. Lay it out on the floor first, then hang from the middle outwards.
IN YOUR HOME
