Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. Crow: From The Life And Songs Of The Crow by Ted Hughes was a pivotal and powerful moment in his writing career.
What Max Porter Says: “Fifty years young, this is the atomic feathered explosion at the heart of 20th-century British poetry. It challenges God and language itself. It’s a wild, wicked, shame-drenched reckoning with creation. It’s outrageous. There’s no book like it. Badly behaved men sometimes make extraordinary work.”
What They Say: “English poetry has found a new hero and nobody will be able to read or write verse now without the black shape of Crow falling across the page.” – Peter Porter
