Crow by Ted Hughes
From the Life and Songs of the Crow
A stark, mythic cycle of poems follows a raw, ambiguous crow-like figure who witnesses and instigates creation, violence, and the collapse of gods and humans; through bleak humor, elemental language, and vivid imagery the work probes primal instincts, the problem of evil, mortality, and the hunger for meaning in a hostile cosmos, alternating between savage impulse and fragile tenderness as the speaker confronts origin myths, suffering, and survival in a scarred landscape.
