The response of one writer to the work of another can be doubly illuminating.
In this series, a poet selects and introduces another poet whom they have particularly admired.
Ted Hughes's classic selection of Sylvia Plath's poetry provides the perfect introduction to a major body of work in twentieth-century poetry.
Hughes draws upon the collections Ariel, The Colossus, Crossing the Water and Winter Trees, and from Sylvia Plath's Pulitzer Prize-winning Collected Poems.
