The Offers

[selenak]

I've posted two poems from Ted Hughes' collection Birthday Letters (the last poetry volume he published, a year or so before his death) before, my favourites - "Life after Death" and "Daffodils". One of the reasons why I love them best is that the beauty of the language and the emotional impact is there whether or not you know anything about Hughes

Thank you for sharing these. I know almost nothing about Sylvia Plath or Ted Hughes, but now I definitely want to know more.

More on the subject, as requested.:)

Heh, that wasn't a literal request, but thank you!
