Letters to Ted - Softcover

'An exquisite miniaturist... Though English by birth, Mr Weissbort has spent a large part of his life in America, and sounds quintessentially American in his writing'The Economist

"Letters to Ted" is a remarkable collection of poems in memory of the late Poet Laureate, Ted Hughes, with whom Daniel Weissbort struck up a friendship, both literary and personal, during their student days in 1950s Cambridge. Swift-moving, by turns contemplative and dramatic in their narration, these spare, poignant, often diary-like poems conjure up a rich history of incidents and memories, creating a moving portrait of a great poet and a lasting friendship.
