Media Reviews
The poetry of Ted Hughes has brought us, in the most exact sense, closer to nature, its complete workings, than any English poet we can think of, including Clare and Hardy. Not because it is brutal, but because it is brutal and bright; otherwise all we would have would be morose accuracy, the diray of a depressed naturalist. [ Wolfwatching ] is a poetry of exultation. --Derek Walcott, The Weekend Telegraph

Wolfwatching represents Ted Hughes at his informal best. --The Times (London)

For Hughes the English language is not so much a tool as an arsenal. . . . Time and again in Wolfwatching it is moving to watch him use verbal weapons, his clashing and meshing sound clusters, to plead for a collective clemency toward animals, a grown child's forgiveness for unhappy parents, a soldier's forgetfulness of battle. --Mary Jo Salter, The New Republic
