Poetry as Ritual: Ted Hughes

Authors

Abstract

"And again now, and now, and now"-these words come from Ted Hughes's poem "The Thought-Fox". I begin with them because they suggest both the impact and urgency of Hughes's verse and also its sinuousness, and the syntactical self-awareness with which it creates a feeling of immediacy.
