Description
Ted Hughes's poetry works always in a contrary direction: showing what man and beast have in common, the reservoir from which we all draw. In A Ted Hughes Bestiary, Alice Oswald selects poems that embody animals rather than just describe them, arranged chronologically to highlight different books and styles. Some poems are included because they become animal-like in the process of writing, while others feature imaginary creatures going about their business. This collection is a distillation of Hughes's achievement, offering room for overlooked poems with "the wildest tunes". It showcases his desire for his poems to have a vivid life of their own, as he once said. With its subtle responsiveness to a central aspect of Hughes's work, A Ted Hughes Bestiary provides a unique insight into the poet's vision and craft.
