This is a book many will have been waiting for. Letters of Ted Hughes begins with letters from the late 1940s and ends with letters from 1998.

This is not, however, a Collected Letters, which would be impossible to publish in a book.

In 2009, Faber published a corrected and improved paperback.

Terry Gifford has submitted the essay "A Response to the Letters of Ted Hughes", which you can read here on this site.

Carol Bere wrote a review which you can read at the Contemporary Poetry Review.

Ann Skea also wrote a review, which you can read at her site.
