I had a conversation with my older sister about the poet Ted Hughes and she said that no one talks about his poetry nowadays. He is mostly known for his association with Sylvia Plath. I was curious so I got this from the library. It was all right. The poems were mostly about nature. There were a lot of analysis of his poems on the internet until his book "Season Songs" so actually he is still remembered. I liked the poem "The Casualty" about a bunch of people who gawk and who do nothing when they see a plane crash. It's interesting how human nature acts like in situations like that. Also I like "Cat and Mouse" where God is the cat and the mouse. It was an interesting visual. "The Thought-Fox", his most famous poem about the writing process, was pretty good too. The poetry in the beginning of the book is best. Ted Hughes isn't my favorite but I'm glad I gave him a try.
