About the Author
The British poet, translator, author, and critic Ted Hughes, born in 1930, wrote more than forty books, including, in the last decade of his life, Shakespeare and the Goddess of Complete Being; Tales from Ovid; verse adaptations of Aeschylus's Oresteia, Racine's Phèdre, and Euripedes' Alcestis; and the bestselling Birthday Letters. Hughes served as Poet Laureate to Queen Elizabeth II from 1984 until his death in 1998.
Review
"In a series of chapters built around poems by a number of writers including himself . . . [Hughes] explores, colourfully and intensively, themes such as 'Capturing Animals,' 'Wind and Weather,' and 'Writing about People.' The purpose throughout is to lead on, via a discussion of the poems (which he does with riveting skill), to some direct encouragement to the [students] to think and write for themselves. He makes the whole venture seem enjoyable, and somehow urgent."--The Times Literary Supplement
