The hype is real about this one, and well deserved I reckon!

A friend lent me Ted Hughes’ poetry Crow to read. I was expecting it to be mad and it delivered.

I’m equally drawn to and unsettled by the Pacific Ocean - so much deep water, so little land. The fact that islands as far apart as Hawai’i, New Zealand and Easter Island were settled a long time ago by Polynesian people seems a near-impossible feat of navigation and endurance.
