In it, he found both a structure and a persona that gave his vision a new power and coherence. A deep engagement with history, mythology and the natural world combine to forge a work of impressive and unsettling force. 'English poetry has found a new hero and nobody will be able to read or write verse now without the black shape of Crow falling across the page.' Peter Porter Review: when crows ruled the world...... - i lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvve crows and their allies and Ted Hughes was probably part of the reason Sylvia Plath committed suicide but i appreciate his poetry everyone should read this book and pbs has had a program that was about crows but had ted hughes quoting his blacker than a crow poetry he was great britains poet laureate with good reason ( ms plath was his wife) humans have a blacker heart than any crow ever did but like all things black, they are a target for human ignorance prejudice i am white but while collecting crow stuff i learned a lot about african american history as black persons were depicted as crows in old ads etc and the jim crow laws etc read it Review: The dark world of Crow - These poems are unique in the history of English literature and indeed, within the body of work of one of Britain's finest poets. They are tough, dark and unrelenting in their perspective but also curiously addictive. I have now read this slim volume several times. I cannot say I fully understand them but you are ineluctably drawn into the dark mind-set of this strange, at times terrifying being that is 'Crow'. This is poetry bat its best. ## Features - FABER & FABER ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #141,674 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,146 in Poetry (Books) #3,248 in Society & Culture (Books) #16,054 in Religion & Spirituality (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 234 Reviews | ## Images ![Crow - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91WLVVxF3mL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ when crows ruled the world...... *by A***R on 26 April 2014* i lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvve crows and their allies and Ted Hughes was probably part of the reason Sylvia Plath committed suicide but i appreciate his poetry everyone should read this book and pbs has had a program that was about crows but had ted hughes quoting his blacker than a crow poetry he was great britains poet laureate with good reason ( ms plath was his wife) humans have a blacker heart than any crow ever did but like all things black, they are a target for human ignorance prejudice i am white but while collecting crow stuff i learned a lot about african american history as black persons were depicted as crows in old ads etc and the jim crow laws etc read it ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The dark world of Crow *by C***I on 10 August 2014* These poems are unique in the history of English literature and indeed, within the body of work of one of Britain's finest poets.

A grizzled folklorist once told me that when crows spy a magpie ‘up to no good’ they are often heard to cark ‘Peck-u-liar! Peck-u-liar!’ before seeing off the tricksy maggie from their territory. ## Frequently Bought Together - Crow - Grief Is the Thing with Feathers --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://grenada.desertcart.com/products/301601605-crow](https://grenada.desertcart.com/products/301601605-crow) --- *Product available on Desertcart Grenada* *Store origin: GD* *Last updated: 2026-08-23*
