The Hawk in the Rain | Ted Hughes

1 post | 5 read | 1 to read

This multi-award winning collection, the first from Ted Hughes, has at its heart the mixture of beauty and violence in the natural world. Dedicated to Sylvia Plath, Hawk in the Rain is a stunning collection of poems on the themes of competition and the struggle for survival. Hughes would go on to become Britain's Poet Laureate in 1984 until his death in 1998.Including many of Hughes' best-known poems, such as 'The Jaguar', 'The Thought-Fox' and 'Wind' - now stapes of British poetry anthologies - Hawk in the Rain is the foundation of Hughes' reputation as one of the twentieth-century's greatest poets.

The Hawk in the Rain | Ted Hughes

pick

This book is included in a volume of Collected Poems that my husband bought me yesterday. I sat down with it today and read through The Hawk In The Rain, Ted Hughes‘ first book that was published in 1957. The writing was good, but the large number of graphic war poems at the end of the book were a bit much for me. Read it with a dictionary handy! :)
