Collected Poems of Ted Hughes

Collected Poems spans fifty years of work, from Hawk in the Rain to the bestselling Birthday Letters. It also includes the complete text 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.
