Críticas
Her book is about aloneness, about cathartic confrontation and rebirth...The position of the confessional voice in this poetry is quite deceptive - the "I" can be both public and personal. Such poems outflank the obvious. This is poetry come out of siege. -- John Kinsella * Observer * An accomplished painter, she brings to her poetry the same landscape of contrasts, in her vivid descriptions of light and dark, struggle and release, the cleansing properties of fire. She is a courageous poet with a rich palette. -- Maura Dooley & Jamie McKendrick * PBS Bulletin *
Reseña del editor
Frieda Hughes's first collection of poems extends the distinctive imaginative territory of her paintings and children's books. In the fairytale world of Wooroloo, light defines dark while dark extends its shadows into the brightest of lives. Fire is the dominant element of these poems: as in her recent paintings, created phoenix-like from the bushfire which destroyed her studio in Wooroloo, her once paradisal home in Australia. Her fables cast light on two worlds, giving a mythic dimension to a contemporary world of husbands and wives, hospital patients and social outcasts, at the same time as they depict with an artist's keen eye the particular nature of beast, fish and fowl. Strange creatures and fabled beings come to life in her poems, so that birds and birdmen, fathers and family, the dying and the dead, swarm through the psyche like flames in a burning forest. The self she depicts is tested by loss, danger, fear and abandonment, yet transformed through experience into a world beyond nihilism and despair: a place which makes possible truth, strength, hope and the redemptive powers of love. Though a writer of unusual literary pedigree, she is first and foremost an original voice, with her own compelling stories to tell. Poetry Book Society Special Commendation.

Paperback. Zustand: Fine +. 76pp, new and unread book, very slightly dusty at page edges. 46 poems in this first collection from the daughter of Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath. Born in 1960, she grew up in Devon. An artist all her life, she wrote and illustrated children's books before she found her voice as a poet. Given the weight of expectations on her as the daughter of two such famous poets, it's a miracle that she published at all, but this, her first collection, won the Poetry Book Society Special Commendation. She continues to work as both an artist and as a poet. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 001535
