Here are poems from Hughes's first book, \u003ci\u003eThe Hawk in the Rain\u003c\/i\u003e, and its successor, \u003ci\u003eLupercal\u003c\/i\u003e, which introduced him as a major poet; from \u003ci\u003eWodwo\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCrow\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eGaudete\u003c\/i\u003e, book-length poetic sequences in which the natural world is made into a thrilling and terror-filled analogue to our human one; and from six volumes of his maturity, here arranged thematically, in which the poet is at once rural chronicler and form-breaking modern artist. The volume also includes previously uncollected poems and eight poems later incorporated into \u003ci\u003eBirthday Letters\u003c\/i\u003e, Hughes's meditation in verse on his marriage to Sylvia Plath, which became an international bestseller the year after his death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47024701604080,"sku":"9780374528645","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780374528645_p0.jpg?v=1763690896","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780374528645","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
