Intim & mästerlig poetisk skildring av äktenskapet med Sylvia Plath
»En fantastisk bok. Ted Hughes ämne är Plath själv - hur hon såg ut, rörde sig och pratade, hennes nöjen, ilska och drömmar, vad som var bra dem mellan och vad det var som gick fel.« The New Yorker
Få historier i efterkrigslitteraturen har fått samma legendariska status som den brittiske poeten Ted Hughes äktenskap med den amerikanska poeten och författaren Sylvia Plath. Dikterna i Brev på födelsedagen är (med bara två undantag) adresserade till Sylvia Plath och skrivna under en period på över tjugofem år - de tidigaste under åren efter Plaths självmord 1963. En del är kärleksbrev, andra är minnen och reflektioner. Hughes skildrar deras tid tillsammans genom sitt eget mytologiska bildspråk, såväl som med drag från Plaths poesi. En intim, biografisk skildring av en litterär relation och en stor diktsamling. I svensk översättning av Ole Hessler och med ett nyskrivet förord av litteraturkritikern Björn Kohlström.
EDWARD JAMES »TED« HUGHES [1930-1998] var en brittisk poet, gift med den amerikanska poeten och författaren Sylvia Plath 1956-1963, fram till hennes död. 1983 utsågs han till brittisk hovskald av drottning Elizabeth II. Till Ted Hughes mest kända verk hör The Hawk in the Rain [1957], Lupercal [1960], Cave Birds [1978] och River [1983]. 2003 kom filmen Sylvia som handlar om Hughes liv tillsammans med Sylvia Plath, med Daniel Craig i rollen som Ted Hughes.
»En känslosam, direkt, ångerfylld och trollbunden ton genomsyrar de starkaste dikterna, som är lågmälda, tankfulla och har karaktären av samtal.« New York Times Book Review
»Detta är en bok skriven av en besatt, drabbad och djupt älskande människa. Den saknar motstycke i litteraturen.« The London Times

Crow was Ted Hughes's fourth book of poems for adults and a pivotal moment in his writing career. In it, he found both a structure and a persona that gave his vision a new power and coherence. A deep engagement with history, mythology and the natural world combine to forge a work of impressive and unsettling force.'English poetry has found a new hero and nobody will be able to read or write verse now without the black shape of Crow falling across the page.' Peter Porter

Ted Hughes wrote a series of stories for children from the early 1960s through until 1995 about how the world, and the creatures in it, came into being. They are collected here in one volume for the first time.These are richly told tales of sparkling intensity about animals finding their form, and God's struggle to understand what he has created. Meet the Polar Bear whose obsession with her snowy white fur is so great that she can only live in a landscape surrounded by her own reflection; the Whale, growing in God's garden beside the carrots; King Leo, who began life because God was hungry for his sausages; poor Parrot's painful defeat in the marriage song contest at the wedding of Man and Woman; and Sparrow's heroic battle against the bird-swallowing Black Hole.There are stories here to suit children from four to fourteen, whether for reading aloud or alone.

'The poem we are told was originally intended as a film scenario. Ted Hughes has that sure poetic instinct that heads implacably for the particular instances rather than ideas or abstraction; he has an especial talent for evoking the visual particular . . . Ted Hughes has produced a strange bastard form that [works] because he has such an acute sense of the suggestive power of specific visual images and the ability to evoke them in words.'

Lupercal was Ted Hughes's second collection, containing some of his most brilliant animal poetry. It confirmed his reputation as a major talent in British poetry. 'Hughes has found his own voice, created his own artistic world and has emerged as a poet of the first importance . . . What Ted Hughes has done is to take a limited, personal theme and, by an act of immensely assured poetic skill, has broadened it until it seems to touch upon nearly everything that concerns us.' Al Alvarez, Observer, 27 March, 1960In language that is by now utterly distinctive, the poems both describe and deliver a kind of psychic shock. Hughes's singularity of vision provides a ready symbiosis between theme and subject - the brute survival instinct of 'Hawk Roosting' or 'Pike', for instance; the rapturous attention bestowed upon 'An Otter' or 'The Bull Moses'; the pervasive legacy of human history that can be seen to saturate a Hughesian landscape.Lupercal is as vital and urgent today as it was when it was first published, its edict, implicit in every poem: to wake up, to pay attention.

Birthday Letters is Hughes's account of his marriage to Sylvia Plath, which began as a love match between two gifted and ambitious young poets and ended with Plath's suicide in 1963 at the age of thirty, after Hughes had left her for another woman. The book thus makes up the untold portion of one of the great tragic love stories of our time, one so laden with myth and acrimony that at times it resembles a post-feminist Romeo and Juliet.

Published in 1957, Hawk in the Rain was Ted Hughes's first collection of poems. It won the New York Poetry Centre First Publication Award, for which the judges were W. H. Auden, Stephen Spender and Marianne Moore, and the Somerset Maugham Award, and it was acclaimed by every reviewer from A. Alvarez to Edwin Muir. When Robin Skelton wrote, 'All looking for the emergence of a major poet must buy it', he was right to see in it the promise of what many now regard as the most important body of work by any poet of the twentieth century.
