I had to re-read Lady Lazarus about 10 times because I couldn’t do it in one go without crying. It moved me like no poem has ever moved me before.

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.
