Guardian review
Ted Hughes Reading His Poetry
Sue Arnold the guardian Fri 12 June 2009
"Pike, three inches long, perfect / Pike in all parts green tigering the gold. / Killers from the egg: the malevolent aged grin ..." Should boxes containing Ted Hughes CDs, like cigarette packets, carry a government warning? I know few voices that exude such cruel, dangerous, predatory intensity as his when he describes nature's most ruthless killers - pike, hawk, jaguar. There are dozens of Hughes collections, but these 50 poems were his personal selection. Sinister and addictive.
