        <description><![CDATA[Hopkin's "The Windhover" and Hughes's "The Hawk Roosting" can be read as companion poems. In fact the latter can be seen as a subversive rewriting of the former. Hopkins's poem is like a "parent poem" (in Harold Bloom's vocabulary) to Hughes, which he deconstructs in "The Hawk Roosting."
Both poems are about power, supremacy and mastery of the world. In both poems, the focus is on a bird of prey who has the world under control. Hopkins's poem...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[As in all of Hughes's animal-poems, in Jaguar too, he deals with the raw and savage power of the beasts--the hawk, the crow and the wolf. He himself associates these images of power to the tropes of the magical shaman; poetry, in his words, is a transformative mask. Though in most of his animal poems, Hughes's persona is located within the animal-self, in this poem, it seems to be an external observer, watching the Jaguar's movement from the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Okay, lets take this step by step.  Here's one way to look at it:

The apes yawn and adore their fleas in the sun.
The parrots shriek as if they were on fire, or strut
Like cheap tarts to attract the stroller with the
nut.
Fatigued with indolence, tiger and lion
Lie still as the sun.

In this first stanza we are shown a group of very different animals.  The apes are lounging around, the parrots are squawking, trying to get nuts from...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Ted Hughes was an avid angler from his boyhood days who enjoyed keenly fishing for the predatory pike. The pike is a born killer - "killers from the egg."  It survives by eating other fish and is also cannibalistic -"suddenly there were two. Finally one." Ted Hughes tells us that this poem "Pike" grew out of his memories of his days of days of pike fishing:

        <description><![CDATA[Ted Hughes and his wife Sylvia Plath left the US and settled down in a small flat in London. It was here that their daughter Frieda - named after D.H.Lawrence's wife - was born in April 1960.  Both the parents revelled in observing the physical and mental growth of their daughter. A new surge of creative energy was released in both of them and a series of poems was the result.  In the autumn of 1961 they moved to a larger house in a village...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Ted Hughes's poem "Hawk Roosting"  provides an excellent basis for analysis of poetic voice and persona. The poem is a dramatic monologue spoken by a non-human voice—a powerful antidote to anyone who believes all poems are direct autobiographical statements from the author’s life.
A lesser poet might have settled merely for the basic situation of the poem—the world seen from the hawk’s perspective. Hughes explores the deeper...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Ted Hughes' first book of poems &quot;Hawk in the Rain&quot;(1957) stems from his keen interest in the ways of the animal kingdom. He records with fear and awe the beauty and the savagery of the animals he observes closely: &quot;I (the hawk) kill where I please because it is all mine.&quot; (&quot;Hawk Roosting&quot;). Man's craze for power and success, he felt, was no different from  the governing principle of the animal world:survival of...]]></description>
