This remarkable volume gathers all of his work, from his earliest poems (published only in journals) through the ground-breaking volumes \u003ci\u003eCrow\u003c\/i\u003e (1970), \u003ci\u003eGaudete\u003c\/i\u003e(1977), and \u003ci\u003eTales from Ovid\u003c\/i\u003e (1997). It includes poems Hughes composed for fine-press printers, poems he wrote as England's Poet Laureate, and those children's poems that he meant for adults as well. This omnium-gatherum of Hughes's work is animated throughout by a voice that, as Seamus Heaney remarked, was simply longer and deeper and rougher than those of his contemporaries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Straus and Giroux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374529659\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.32h x 5.44w x 2.35d","brand":"Ted Hughes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43112001962165,"sku":"9780374529659","price":25.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_9f917345-7079-4437-b2d5-385e1c24c566.jpg?v=1693926551","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/collected-poems-9780374529659","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
