Crow: From the Life and Songs of the Crow

From his remarkable debut The Hawk in the Rain (1957) to his death in 1998, Ted Hughes was a colossal presence in the English literary landscape. He was also admired as a performer of his own work. Crow is one of his most significant collections, focusing on the central figure of the Crow, predatory, mocking and indestructible. Crow is read here by the author in its entirety and with narrative links not included in the published text.
