AWARD WINNING POET OFFERS 34 POEMS. These poems tell of farm life for the ordinary farmer. "Of Mr. Hughess power and powers as a poet there can be no doubt. He can command the childs lacerating unsentimentality; the animals instinctual pounce; and the elements unarguing cogency. His world resembles that of King Lear, a world of human inhumanity, of unfathomable predators, of Jobs comfortlessness and of violence shot through with flickering grace."-Christopher Ricks
