The Birthday Letters

Birthday Letters is a 1998 poetry collection by English poet and children's writer Ted Hughes. Released only months before Hughes's death, the collection won multiple prestigious literary awards. This collection of eighty-eight poems is widely considered to be Hughes's most explicit response to the suicide of his estranged wife Sylvia Plath in 1963, and to their widely discussed, politicized and "explosive" marriage. more »

Walking through Victoria Park
Some show off was singing really loud
I thought "there's no real need for that, because there's so many people out"

Like a hierophant of self appointment
My eyes open only
To my requirements

I'm a classic backseat driver
So how could I deny you
My expertise

One sunny day on morning lane
I was almost mugged right in the street
I ran straight into the traffic
My fear followed by my feet
Do I regret my haste that day on morning lane?
Like an indicator species I gave it all away

If beauty is the harvest of our presence in time
Then I'm scrubbing the steps of the convent tonight
And I' filming the chaos in an Apple store fight
Then maybe I'm Scorcese
In my own strange fantasy I've arrived
