Thanks so much. I am rereading my Ted hughes, and each round, as I age, I see different things. Love the insights all three presenters offer. God bless and may you all go far.

Graves and the White Goddess always behind. Ted Hughes was never misogynistic, on the contrary, he idealised women, but sought them as if in an Arthurian Quest. He never quite understood women, definitely. But he was the absolute opposite of a misogynist.

Ted Hughes central preoccupation in all his poetry is to express a vitality modern man, with his material cravings and hyper rationality has lost. The mythological content in his poetry is an attempt to reconnect us to the psychodynamic aspect of our natures.

Are the dissertations of Katherine Robinson and Molly Moss available to read? I would love to read them.

Flattened roadkill on my morning runs always makes me think of Ted Hughes

Good chat about Hughes.

thank you beautifully spoken God bless you amen

Awesome

Am searching for his poem September

"Indubitably" one of the great 20th century poets (the subtitle says 21st), though I can easily think of a dozen better, in English. Almost all of his best poetry is contained in Lupercal and Tales From Ovid. "Known notoriously as the husband of Sylvia Plath" - yet Plath would not ever have been known had she not married him, and then committed suicide (her own style owes much to him). But the man at the start called him "a Pembroke poet" - in what sense? I was curious to hear what the ladies, students of Hughes, said afterwards, and would be curious to learn what mythical substrata is at work.

Woooooooooo . It was really great

yes very interesting

IF you see how older cultures got their wisdom, it is from nature.

Nice commentary
