Description
Gaudete is a poem by Ted Hughes, first published in 1977. Originally intended as a film scenario, it showcases Hughes' unique poetic style, which focuses on evoking specific visual images.
The poem's distinctive form and language owe to Hughes' acute sense of the suggestive power of particular visual images, which he conveys through his words.
