Critics frequently rank him as one of the best poets of his generation and one of the twentieth century's greatest writers. He was appointed Poet Laureate in 1984 and held the office until his death. In 2008, The Times ranked Hughes fourth on its list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945". He married fellow poet Sylvia Plath in 1956, and they lived together in the United States and then in England, in a tumultuous relationship. They had two children before separating in 1962 and Plath ended her own life in 1963.' (Wiki) ***'Ted Hughes (1930-1998) was one of the giants of twentieth-century poetry. His vast and multifaceted output, which challenged and stimulated generations of readers, is now a permanent monument. His voice, once heard, is unforgettable. Ted Hughes was also a prolific letter-writer, with a private voice no less original and compelling. He described letter-writing as "excellent training for conversation with the world", and the Letters offers a selection from the thousands he wrote over a period of fifty years. This selection includes correspondence from Hughes's marriage to Sylvia Plath, and his letters to those he trusted reveal much about his feelings for her. There are letters, too, to Assia Wevill, who was the mother of his third child and who, like Plath, killed herself. Beyond that, though, the Letters offers a detailed picture of a visionary, questing and prodigiously creative individual--responding in full tilt to the challenges of an incomparably eventful life and career.'
