World Literature Today, spring, 1998, review of Tales from Ovid, p. 379; summer, 1998, review of The Birthday Letters, p. 621. I had not intended to read every poem, but ended up doing so. Not every poem resonated with my corvid sensibilities, but most did.

Five or six magpies, both foretell the future wealth of a family, with seven being a bittersweet twist, eluding to the secrets all families must hold to maintain lifelong love. is from one of two interviews conducted in 1989 by Dr Amzed Hossein at the Asia Poetry Festival in Dhaka, Bangladesh, where Ted Hughes was a Special Guest. A crow settles itself on "Physical Energy" a statue in Kensington Gardens by British artist George Frederic Watts. Learn more. One of those "classics" I'd not yet gotten around to reading, this is an amazingly dark and intense book, full of surreal and haunting imagery, but not without wry humor. It contains real horror and real emotion, and is mostly spoken in the voice of "Crow", who feels like a cross between a dark/negative Holy Ghost and a primal energy of the death that resides in all life -- not God, but a god, one who's ultimately a reflection of all that is egotistical, ugly, unconscious, on the edge of sanity, and primal in humans (particularly male humans; Crow's voice, to me, often sounds afraid of the female principle). Ted Hughes’ The Crow was a mixed bag for me. Some poems went right over my head no matter how many times I would read them. Others read like pretentious claptrap. But then there were a handful that I enjoyed reading, like “Crow Goes Hunting”:
