Ted Hughes - Birthday Letters

Būklė - labai gera, yra įrašas pradžioje

The poems in Birthday Letters are addressed (with just two exceptions) to Plath, and were written over a period of more than twenty-five years, the first a few years after her suicide in 1963. Some are love letters, others haunted recollections and ruminations. In them, Hughes recalls his and Plath's time together, drawing on the powerful imagery of his work—animal, vegetable, mythological—as well as on Plath's famous verse.

Countless books have discussed the subject of this intense relationship from a necessary distance, but this volume—at last—offers us Hughes's own account. Moreover, it is a truly remarkable collection of pems in its own right.
