| Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath |
| Two poets met at Cambridge and the passionate reaction was instant and dramatic. Working together, they produced a large body of work in their short marriage. The disturbed Plath took her own life and thereby took her poetry into the realm of Feminist myth. Ted Hughes worked all his remaining life for justice for her work. The mass of his own works, his Poet Laureateship, his immense scholarship and his huge generous and life-affirming spirit have been overshadowed by Plath’s angst.
‘A suicide kills more than one person and is intended to’. Is it time to honour the poetry of affirmation and, perhaps, relegate the poetry of vindictiveness?
