Lupercal
”, won England’s prestigious Hawthornden Prize in 1961.
“
Wodwo
”, a compilation of both poetry and prose, including short stories and a radio play, was published
in 1967. In 1970, a cycle of poems “
Crow
” came into being and became a best-seller. In it, Hughes attempts
to create a fragmentary mythology. In addition to verse, Hughes has written a number of plays and several
books for children.
Some critics have attacked Hughes for the grimness of his poetic subject matter and the violence of
his language, but his admirers contend, that his language is vibrant and passionate, and that his recognition
of violence in man and nature is a valid perception. In 1984, Hughes was appointed a poet laureate.
