Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor

The award-winning poet and daughter of Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath presents a volume of uncharacteristically intimate pieces that incorporate imaginative language, lilting rhythms, and the surreal imagery of a dark and menacing nursery rhyme, in a collection that explores such subjects as her youth and parents to her animal friends and a series of imaginary characters whose behaviors reflect less-virtuous aspects of humanity. Original.

Biografía del autor

Born in London in 1960, Frieda Hughes is a painter and poet. She has also written children's books, and was The Times (London) poetry columnist from 2006 to 2008. Frieda's first collection of poetry, Wooroloo, was named after the hamlet in western Australia where she lived during the 1990s. Other collections followed: Stonepicker; Waxworks; Forty-five, a collection of autobiographical poems based on her life to the age of forty-five; The Book of Mirrors; and Alternative Values. In this last book, Frieda used the subject of her poems to inform the accompanying abstract images--painted in oils on canvas--combining the two driving forces in her life. Her poems have also appeared in The New Yorker, The Paris Review, The London Magazine, The Times (London), and The Spectator (London). Frieda resides in Wales with owls and motorbikes.
