Ted Hughes es uno de los mejores poetas en lengua inglesa de todos los tiempos. Así lo consideraron sus lectores, que transformaron sus libros en insólitos fenómenos editoriales. También los críticos, que, favorables o contrarios a él, eran conscientes de que "la poesía de Hughes estaba destinada a ocupar un lugar central en la historia de la lírica del siglo XX". E incluso el propio establishment de su país, cuando, en 1984 y contra todo pronóstico, decidió nombrarlo Poeta Laureado; o, en 1998, tan sólo unas semanas antes de su muerte, al concederle la reina Isabel II la Orden del Mérito británica. Poeta de "inusual dedicación" (Ann Skea), elaboró una poesía de "dureza insoportable" (Derek Walcott), "con una capacidad de evocación, una continuidad y un poder tales que hace que la mayoría de la poesía contemporánea, comparada con la suya, parezca pálida, exangüe" (Stuart Hirschberg). En España, por desgracia, esta obra trascendental tardó mucho tiempo en llegar, y, a pesar del creciente interés que se advierte por ella, la mayoría de los poemarios de Ted Hughes aún no han visto la luz. Esta selección de 68 poemas, uno por cada año que vivió su creador, recoge muestras de todos los períodos creativos del poeta y pretende dar respuesta a esa importante carencia. XOÁN ABELEIRA

Ted Hughess Birthday Letters are addressed, with just two exceptions, to Sylvia Plath, the American poet to whom he was married. They were written over a period of more than twenty-five years, the first a few years after her suicide in 1963, and represent Ted Hughess only account of his relationship with Plath and of the psychological drama that led both to the writing of her greatest poems and to her death. The book became an instant bestseller on its publication in 1998 and won the Forward Prize for Poetry in the same year. To read [Birthday Letters] is to experience the psychic equivalent of "the bends". It takes you down to levels of pressure where the undertruths of sadness and endurance leave you gasping. Seamus HeaneyEven if it were possible to set aside its biographical value . . . its linguistic, technical and imaginative feats would guarantee its future. Hughes is one of the most important poets of the century and this is his greatest book. Andrew Motion

When Michael Hofmann and James Lasduns ground-breaking anthology After Ovid (also Faber) was published in 1995, Hughess three contributions to the collective effort were nominated by most critics as outstanding. He had shown that rare translators gift for providing not just an accurate account of the original, but one so thoroughly imbued with his own qualities that it was as if Latin and English poetwere somehow the same person. Tales from Ovid, which went on to win the Whitbread Prize for Poetry, continued the project of recreation with 24 passages, including the stories of Phaeton, Actaeon, Echo and Narcissus, Procne, Midas and Pyramus and Thisbe. In them, Hughess supreme narrative and poetic skills combine to produce a book that stands, alongside his Crow and Gaudete, as an inspired addition to the myth-making of our time.

Published in 1957, Hawk in the Rain was Ted Hughess first collection of poems. It won the New York Poetry Centre First Publication Award, for which the judges were W. H. Auden, Stephen Spender and Marianne Moore, and the Somerset Maugham Award, and it was acclaimed by every reviewer from A. Alvarez to Edwin Muir. When Robin Skelton wrote, All looking for the emergence of a major poet must buy it, he was right to see in it the promise of what many now regard as the most important body of work by any poet of the twentieth century.

The poem we are told was originally intended as a film scenario. Ted Hughes has that sure poetic instinct that heads implacably for the particular instances rather than ideas or abstraction### he has an especial talent for evoking the visual particular . . . Ted Hughes has produced a strange bastard form that [works] because he has such an acute sense of the suggestive power of specific visual images and the ability to evoke them in words. Oliver Lyne, Times Literary Supplement

Originally published in 1979, Moortown Diary is the updated version of Ted Hughess acclaimed Devon farming sequence, written over a period of several years during which he was spending almost every day outside, either gardening or farming. The introduction and notes (added in 1989) sketch in the background from which these remarkable poems emerged as an improvised verse journal, sparely edited, coalescing spontaneously on the page. Moortown Diary keeps its eye firmly on the creatures behind the language. Its written in the style of Hughess play translations: very swift and bright and urgent and speakable...Hughes strips away the protective layers - the soundproofed ears, the double-glazed eyes - that prevent us making contact with anything outside ourselves. Right now, I cant think of anything more important than that kind of poem. Because were not just here to think about literature. Were here to try to wake up. Alice Oswald, The GuardianIt grips your heart, and your intestines, like a vice from the first page. He makes language as physical as a bruise, and in these poems beauty and tenderness blend with violence. John Carey, Sunday TimesThe Moortown sequence includes some of Hughess finest poems...They are like no other poems I have read, with a degree of intensity, sanity and grace that he has never equalled. Anthony Thwaite, Times Literary Supplement

Originally the medieval bestiary or book of animals set out to establish safe distinctions - between them and us - but Hughess poetry works always in a contrary direction: showing what man and beast have in common, the reservoir from which we all draw. Alice Oswalds selection is arranged chronologically, with an eye to different books and styles, but equally to those poems that embody animals, rather than just describe them. Some poems are here because, although not strictly speaking animal, they become so in the process of writing; and in keeping with the bestiary tradition there are plenty of imaginary animals - all concentratedly coming about their business.The resulting selection is subtly responsive to a central aspect of Hughess achievement, while offering room to some wonderful overlooked poems, and to those that have the wildest tunes.

First published in 1983, River celebrates fluvial landscapes, their creatures and their regenerative powers. Inspired by Hughess love of fishing and by his environmental activism, the poems are a deftly and passionately attentive chronicle of change over the course of the seasons. West Country rivers predominate (The West Dart and Torridge), but other poems imagine or recall Japanese rivers or Celtic rivers, and The Gulkana explores an ancient Alaskan watercourse. At its core the sequence rehearses, in various settings, from winter to winter, the life-cycle of the salmon.All this, too, is stitched into the torn richness, The epic poise That holds him so steady in his wounds, so loyal to his doom, so patient In the machinery of heaven.from October Salmon

A Dancer to God brings together three short pieces written in homage to T. S. Eliot. They were prompted, in turn, by the unveiling of a plaque, by a reading of The Waste Land in a London theatre, and by a centenary dinner. But each piece far transcends its occasion, and may be read as part of a sustained meditation on the very nature of Eliots greatness as a poet.Readers of Ted Hughess Shakespeare and the Goddess of Complete Being, will find in this smaller book a comparable incisiveness and understanding of the spiritual demands imposed by supreme creative genius.
