Sobre este artículo
New York: Harper & Brothers, 1957. First American Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine+.

A collection of 40 poems, as in the London edition (published five days earlier) but rearranged. After their honeymoon in France and Spain, the Hughes returned to Cambridge. Plath, who considered her husband's poetry the "most rich and powerful since that of Yeats and Dylan Thomas, had typed out almost all his poems and submitted them, as The Hawk in the Rain, to a competition for a first book of poems being run by the Poetry Centre of the Young Men's and Young Women's Hebrew Association of New York. In February 1957 the judges, W. H. Auden, Stephen Spender, and Marianne Moore, awarded the first prize—publication by Harper and Row [sic]—to Hughes. Marianne Moore wrote: 'Hughes' talent is unmistakable, the work has focus, is aglow with feeling, with conscience; sensibility is awake, embodied in appropriate diction.'" (ODNB) Reviews were almost unanimously enthusiastic, and book won the Somerset Maugham award. N. B.
