Description:
Frieda Hughes's poems are magical and seductive; they are like great fables, where the world is imbued in a mythic light. With her keen painter's eye, Hughes meticulously observes the world and does not flinch from difficult subjects and experiences.
Expand description
In Waxworks, Hughes creates a kind of poetic wax museum with such diverse personalities as Rasputin and Cinderella, Medea and Lazarus, Houdini and Lady Macbeth, who experience the love and pain and vanity that affect us all.
Like Wooroloo, Frieda Hughes's debut collection, the poems of Waxworks will haunt a reader's imagination.
