Hughes has been much in the media of late, with a recent sequence of BBC Radio 3’s The Essay dedicated to ‘Five Views of Ted Hughes’.
These broadcasts (available on the BBC website throughout the world) feature five contemporary poets exploring five aspects of Hughes’s work, beginning with current Oxford Professor of Poetry (and long-time friend to the Society) talking on ‘Hughes and Tenderness’.
