  • "Ted Hughes married Sylvia Plath in 1956, and Plath committed suicide six and a half years later, for which many held Hughes accountable. This book presents a portrait of Hughes as a man, as a poet, and as a husband who was haunted for his entire life by the aftermath of his first marriage."
  • "This volume investigates the romantic relationship between American poet and novelist Sylvia Plath (1932-1963) and English poet Ted Hughes (1930-1998). Beginning with the historic moment of their first meeting, the author describes Plath and Ted Hughes's first encounter as violent and almost mythic, punctuated with kisses and biting. In 112 days they were married. Together, they formed a unique literary bond. They remained aggressive intellectual and erotic partners. But, six years later, Hughes left Plath and their two children for another woman. Plath committed suicide shortly after, while Hughes would go on to a long and successful career as a poet and as Plath's literary executor. The author offers fresh evidence of Hughes' beliefs in Shamanism, psychic telepathy and the predatory instinct, and she breaks new ground in tracing the couple's interactive creative relationship, suggesting that neither would have produced his or her best poetry without the other."
