Analysing Ted Hughes and Liz Lochheads poems

Analysing Ted Hughes and Liz Lochheads poems Ted Hughes, Britain's Poet Laureate and easily the most well-known poet of his generation, died of cancer on October 28th 1998. Born August 17, 1930 in Mytholmroyd, a former mill town in the Yorkshire Pennines, Hughes came from humble origins, his father a World War I veteran, carpenter and later shop-keeper. Whatever drove Hughes to become a poet, one of the main influences he cited was the musicality of the West …

…misunderstood what Hughes was trying to say. He was noticeably someone who relied on his poetry as it was a way of telling the world how he felt. This I feel was what makes his poems so powerful and intriguing and fascinating. I therefore believe Hughes poems were more appealing to me as I found that they had so many hidden meanings .Also I felt that a lot of Hughes personality and character comes through.
