This multi-award winning collection, the first from Ted Hughes, has at its heart the mixture of beauty and violence in the natural world. Dedicated to Sylvia Plath, Hawk in the Rain is a stunning collection of poems on the themes of competition and the struggle for survival. Hughes would go on to become Britain's Poet Laureate in 1984 until his death in 1998. Including many of Hughes' best-known poems, such as 'The Jaguar', 'The Thought-Fox' and 'Wind' - now stapes of British poetry anthologies - Hawk in the Rain is the foundation of Hughes' reputation as one of the twentieth-century's greatest poets.

In his introduction to this anthology, the Poet Laureate explains a system for memorizing poetry. The 101 poems which follow are among his favourites, and are well suited to the described method. Thi

This collection brings together the poems Ted Hughes wrote for children throughout his life. They are arranged by volume, beginning with those for reading aloud to the very young, progressing to the poems in "Under the North Star" and "What is the Truth?" and ending with "Season Songs", which Hughes remarked was written 'within hearing' of children. Raymond Briggs brings to the collection two hundred original drawings that capture the wit, gentleness and humanity of these poems and make this a book any reader - child and adult - will return to again and again.

En las entrañas de la Tierra vive un demonio. Un día, al asomarse al mundo, queda maravillado por su belleza. Con el deseo de hacer algo semejante, crea con sus lágrimas y piedras preciosas un ser que, ante sus ojos, supera todo lo que ha visto. Pero, ¿cómo darle vida? ¿Cómo escapará esta criatura de la oscuridad y la tristeza con que fue creada?

Right from the beginning, Ted Hughes (1930-98) wrote in a way that set him apart from his contemporaries, as Simon Armitage puts it in his introduction. By the time he published his final collection, Birthday Letters in 1998, he had become a colossus on the literary landscape.

Long ago when the world was brand new, before animals or birds, the sun rose into the sky and brought the first day. To begin with, all the creatures were pretty much alike - very different from what they are now. Those that wanted to be lions practised being lions. But there were other creatures - including the whale, the elephant, the cat and the donkey - that came about in different ways!Ted Hughes' classic text is accompanied by the beautiful illustrations of Jackie Morris to bring a lyrical and witty version of the creation myths to young readers.

Ted Hughes es uno de los mejores poetas en lengua inglesa de todos los tiempos. Así lo consideraron sus lectores, que transformaron sus libros en insólitos fenómenos editoriales. También los críticos, que, favorables o contrarios a él, eran conscientes de que "la poesía de Hughes estaba destinada a ocupar un lugar central en la historia de la lírica del siglo XX". E incluso el propio establishment de su país, cuando, en 1984 y contra todo pronóstico, decidió nombrarlo Poeta Laureado; o, en 1998, tan sólo unas semanas antes de su muerte, al concederle la reina Isabel II la Orden del Mérito británica. Poeta de "inusual dedicación" (Ann Skea), elaboró una poesía de "dureza insoportable" (Derek Walcott), "con una capacidad de evocación, una continuidad y un poder tales que hace que la mayoría de la poesía contemporánea, comparada con la suya, parezca pálida, exangüe" (Stuart Hirschberg). En España, por desgracia, esta obra trascendental tardó mucho tiempo en llegar, y, a pesar del creciente interés que se advierte por ella, la mayoría de los poemarios de Ted Hughes aún no han visto la luz. Esta selección de 68 poemas, uno por cada año que vivió su creador, recoge muestras de todos los períodos creativos del poeta y pretende dar respuesta a esa importante carencia. XOÁN ABELEIRA
