Edizione: award winning poet offers 34 poems. these poems tell of farm life for the ordinary farmer. ?of mr. hughes?s power and powers as a poet there can be no doubt. he can command the child?s lacerating unsentimentality; the animal?s instinctual pounce; and the elements? unarguing cogency. his world resembles that of ?king lear,? a world of human inhumanity, of unfathomable predators, of job?s comfortlessness and of violence shot through with flickering grace.?-christopher ricks
