<p>Welcome to the meticulously observed world of Frieda Hughes. It is a world of tangible materiality constantly on the brink of change a world populated with foxes and fire fathers and lovers mothers and birdmen--a world that is ultimately combustible fragile fearsome and elegiacally beautiful. Hughes maps the landscape both within and without in language possessed of an almost painterly sensitivity and a sublime mastery of craft. The self she depicts is one who is tested by loss danger betrayal and abandonment yet one who is transformed through experience into a world beyond nihilism and despair a place that makes possible truth strength of character and the redemptive power of love.</p>
