He cawed his battle cry in the sky. As it flew closer to the sun, his body temporarily hid the sun. The trees looked old for the shadow around them. In ‘ Crow’s Fall’ Hughes uses this imagery to intensify the tension of the poem. Translator, with Harold Schimmel and Assia Gutmann) The Early Books of Yehuda Amichai, Sheep Meadow Press, 1988. Sylvia Plath, Crossing the Waters: Transitional Poems, Harper, 1971, published as Crossing the Waters, Faber and Faber, 1971.As an opening line for a nineteenth-century poem, ‘By what mistake were pigeons made so happy’ stands out for its directness, its sheer oddness, and its unusual choice of subject-matter (doves in poetry, why yes; pigeons? Um…). James Henry (1798-1876) was overlooked during his lifetime and it was only more than a century after his death that his work was discovered. ‘Pigeons’ offers something very different from Henry’s contemporaries, whether Keats or Tennyson or even Browning.

Any list of the best bird poems should probably include something from Ted Hughes’ experimental but defining volume, Crow (1970). Hughes wrote the cycle of poems about ‘Crow’ in the late 1960s, and it was a far more experimental and avant-garde book than Hughes’s previous volumes of poetry. Over the course of his life, Hughes was influenced by many individuals and ideas. His marriage to fellow poet Sylvia Plath greatly informed his work, most notably his final collection, Birthday Letters, which is principally concerned with their relationship. Hughes also admired the poetry of W.B. Yeats and learned many of his poems by heart. However, the most enduring influence on Hughes was the natural world, which he returned to repeatedly in his poems. Crucially, he was fascinated by the way the world could be understood, which drew him to mythical and pagan stories throughout his life.
