Birthday Letters by Hughes, Ted - 1998

London: Faber and Faber, 1998. First printing. Hardcover. As New/as new. This is an extraordinary collection of more than 70 confessional poems, written over a twenty-five year period, in which Ted Hughes comes to terms with the death of his wife, Sylvia Plath. Some are raw, despairing and self-mutilating, others are more philosophical and loving. Some fading to jacket spine.
