More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Fay Godwin is commonly regarded as this country's finest landscape photographer. Ted Hughes, who was born and brought up in the part of the world she has captured in these atmospheric studies, was inspired by them to provide a verse text, one of the most personal things he has written.
About the Author
Ted Hughes (1930-1998) was born in Yorkshire. His first book, The Hawk in the Rain, was published in 1957 by Faber and Faber and was followed by many volumes of poetry and prose for adults and children. He received the Whitbread Book of the Year for two consecutive years for his last published collections of poetry, Tales from Ovid (1997) and Birthday Letters (1998). He was Poet Laureate from 1984, and in 1998 he was appointed to the Order of Merit.

Format:Paperback
An absolutely undervalued gem. Fay Godwin's photo's and Ted Hughes's poems are a wonderful marriage. Equally, the poems in this book comprise one of the most focussed and coherant books Hughes has written since the 1960s. Spare, bony, lyrical. There's something haiku about them; something mosestly Shakesperean. Drive up to Hebdon Bridge in West Yorkshire, climb up to Heptonstall village, and read Heptonstall Old Church to yourself and feel yourself sinking deeper into history, into the cracks in the black stone.
