Originally published in 1985, this study provides a clear and intelligent introduction to the work of the former Poet Laureate, Ted Hughes. The author presents the main works in a broadly chronological order and brings together the most interesting of Hughes’ own critical remarks from interviews, recordings, letters and articles. Throughout the book West emphasizes the drama and the gestures behind the ‘verbal surface’ of Hughes’ work and at the same time raises questions of value not just for Hughes’ work but for all poetry, such as, what is myth and what is the purpose of poetry? Many well-known poems are used to illustrate his argument and a small number are examined in depth, making this an indispensable guide to Ted Hughes’ work.

Reclaiming an Ancient Tool of Faith Formation for Our Secular Age In a world overflowing with competing ideas about meaning and purpose, it’s more important than ever to embrace the gospel story as the ultimate lens through which we understand life. For centuries, Christians have relied on catechisms—question-and-answer summaries of faith—to teach the faith and disciple new believers. The Gospel Way Catechism reclaims this powerful practice, explaining 50 essential Christian beliefs in a clear, Q&A format. But it doesn’t stop there. Each answer not only clarifies the core tenets of faith, but also equips you to identify and challenge today’s common, yet powerful, cultural narratives. As you are formed by biblical answers to essential questions about God, life, and faith, you will also be counter-formed so you can identify the shortcomings of secular scripts and subvert them with the gospel. Suitable for individual, group, and church-wide study, this discipleship tool provides an effective antidote to Western culture’s inherent self-centeredness. Let this guide strengthen your faith and empower you to be salt and light in a culture desperate for meaning.
