Ted HughesEdward James Hughes; edited by Paul Keegan

Published posthumously, the Collected Poems spans fifty years of work, from Hawk in the Rain (1957) to Birthday Letters (1998). It also includes the complete texts of such seminal publications as Crow (1970) and Tales from Ovid (1997), as well as those children's poems that Hughes felt crossed over into adult poetry. It further includes small press publications and editions that, until now, remained uncollected. "A guardian spirit of the land and language." –Seamus Heaney
