challenging dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced

4.75

This is a great collection of poems-- aside from the "hits" like Daddy, Fever 103, Cut, Tulips, Lady Lazarus, Ariel... Ok-- I could keep going. There are some really underrated brilliant nuggets in here, and I love being able to see the raw poems of this restored version. I also loved being able to read the poems that were removed before by Ted Hughes, they are consistently some of the more interesting ones. This book is essential for anybody interested in ANY darker poetry.
