	Ted Hughes
		Hughes stated that poems, like animals, are each one 'an assembly of living parts, moved by a single spirit.' In his early works Hughes questioned man's function in the universal scheme.
		In 1970 Hughes was one of the founders of the Arvon Foundation.
		Hughes often embodied the primal forces of nature as mythical animals, such as the pike ("With a sag belly and the grin it was born with.

	Ted Hughes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ted Hughes was married from 1956-1963 to the American poet Sylvia Plath, who committed suicide in 1963 at the age of 30.
		Hughes was born on August 17, 1930 at number 1, Aspinal Street, in Mytholmroyd, West Yorkshire and raised among the farms in the area.
		Hughes' earlier poetic work is rooted in nature and, in particular, the innocent savagery of animals (Tennyson's phrase "nature, red in tooth and claw" could have been written for Hughes).

	Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath - Article about Troubled Relationship of the Poets
		Hughes recalled scenes from their courtship and marriage with precision - the peach scrunched outside Charing Cross station; the student parties (that famous bite/kiss), the first love-making ("You were slim and lithe and smooth as a fish").
		But precisely because what Hughes is writing about is a form of energy with a strength and will of its own, no attempt - if indeed this is the attempt - to hand it over to Plath alone, to her distressed and haunted selfhood as he sees it, can work.
		It is obvious from both Hughes revelations and Plath’s own diaries that the couple were deeply in love and the latter was an empty vessel which benefited both artistically and emotionally from being filled by the talent and personality that was England’s greatest poet of the last century.

		Hughes was never in any doubt that the great poet was a shaman, a healer of the spiritual hurts of his tribe.

	A Divided Response to Poems of Ted Hughes
		Now that Hughes, 67, has spoken out, discussing Plath for the first time in a stunning new volume of poetry, he might be forgiven for hoping that the teasing and pricking will finally end.
		On one side, led by feminist critics at American universities, are those who believe Hughes wronged Plath in life by abandoning her, and in death by too carefully controlling publication of her work.
		Although Hughes has argued that he wanted simply to prevent untruths from circulating -- "I hope each of us owns the facts of her or his own life," he once wrote -- Plath scholars complain that his meddling went much further, to the point of censorship.

	Review: Ted Hughes: Collected Poems - by Keith Sagar
		Hughes inherited from Blake and Lawrence a conviction that modern Western man has built up over two thousand years layer upon layer of insulation, both physical and psychic, against nature, including all nature’s sustaining and creative energies, imagination and spirit.
		The original idea was that Crow re-enacts not only all Hughes’ errors, but all the errors of the race (or the male half of it), begins to learn at last from his mistakes, seeks correction, embarks on a quest for the female, formerly his victim, now his intended bride.
		Hughes' poems have an amazing capacity to fertilize the imaginations of others, not only other writers, but those who have not yet begun to write, and artists, and musicians.

	Jeanette Winterson on Ted Hughes \| Great poets of the 20th century \| guardian.co.uk Books
		Hughes is a vigorous poet and the muscle of his language lifts the ordinary or overlooked experience, turns it about, holds it up to the light, carries it for us, then gently puts it down where we won't forget it.
		But Hughes, the Yorkshireman with the land in his DNA, began to rewrite the human connection to the natural world, to rewire it really, without sentimentality or evasion.
		Reading Ted Hughes is a wild call to live "where the night snows stars and the earth creaks".

	Ted Hughes and Crow by Ann Skea: Journal of Mythic Arts, Winter, 2007, Endicott Studio
		There is ample evidence of Hughes' intentions and of his belief in the power of myth in his prose writing (some of which is collected in Winter Pollen (3)) and, especially, in his discussion of Shakespeare's work in Shakespeare and The Goddess of Complete Being.
		Hughes' first published poems, in The Hawk in the Rain (9), are examples of his use of small poetic charms which contain powerful animal energies.
		Crow (18), however, was the first sequence of poems in which Hughes began to create an extensive folk–mythology of his own, complete with a fallible God (reminiscent of Blake's Nobodaddy) and with a questing hero who, in the end, turns out to be inadequate for the task which he, and Hughes, have set themselves.

	Poetry: Ted Hughes (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Ted Hughes (1930-1998) was born in Yorkshire, in the small village of Mytholmroyd.
		His father was a carpenter and later became a shopkeeper, but his disturbed memories of his experiences in World War I, when he was one of a handful in his regiment to survive the slaughter of the British troops at Gallipoli, were a haunting presence in the family's life.
		As he said later, "It was all we were interested in, all we ever did." By the time they returned to England in 1959, he had already begun publishing successfully, which aggravated tensions that already existed in their marriage.

	Letters Of Ted Hughes - Book Reviews - Books - Entertainment - smh.com.au
		Hughes was to be hounded for the rest of his life by the life and death of Plath and in this selection of letters she is the spectre that haunts them to the very end.
		It would not be until the last year of his life, 1998, that Hughes opened the steel doors to allow his by now substantial international audience, and posterity, into that painful place where those "events" still acted as a "whole log-jam pile-up" on his psyche.
		That said, the Hughes that Reid does sculpt emerges as a giant of a man: a fiercely protective, loving father, a passionate and compassionate friend, a writer enthralled with the power of language, generous in his help to other writers, yet a lonely Heathcliff, weathered by the elements, both temporal and metaphysical.

		Here is the counterpart of Hughes' Crow, who, laughing, singing and eating, displays his supreme egotism by "Flying the fl flag of himself" ('Crow Blacker than Ever', C p.69) through the havoc and horror which he has helped to create.
		In Crow, Hughes not only redefined God, he adopted Biblical language and style, recreated the Biblical Genesis story, perverted the message of the supreme power of God's love and cast Crow in the role of "crucified" and reborn hero('Crow and the Sea', C p.82) and survivor of the Apocalypse.
