Description

The Collected Poems spans fifty years of work, from Hawk in the Rain to the bestselling Birthday Letters. It also includes the complete texts of such seminal publications as Crow and Tales from Ovid as well as those children's poems that Hughes felt crossed over into adult poetry. Most significantly it also includes small press publications and editions that, until now, remain uncollected and have never before been available to a general readership.

Author Biography

Ted Hughes was born in 1930 in Yorkshire. His many volumes of poetry and prose include The Iron Man, Tales from Ovid and Birthday Letters. He was Poet Laureate from 1984 until his death in 1988.

Reviews

"'This is a volume of quite astonishing authority - not just mastery, beauty and power, but sheer canonic authority' Philip Hensher, Daily Telegraph"
