In October 1970 Ted Hughes published Crow: From the Life and Songs of the Crow. The Ted Hughes Society and Hughes’s alma mater, Pembroke College Cambridge, are proud to invite their members to a seminar on 17th March 2021 at 18.00-20.00 (GMT) devoted to the extraordinary power and enduring life of Crow, a collection which many regard as one of the twentieth century’s most important works of poetry.

The seminar will feature a distinguished panel of speakers: Dame Marina Warner, Alice Oswald, Mark Cocker and Grzegorz Kwiatkowski, along with a host of other voices and the chance to see some of the treasures in the newly-acquired Barrie Cooke archive at Pembroke College.
