This British poet married fellow American confessional poetess Sylvia Plath in the year 1956. On 16th June, 1956 they tied the holy knot to celebrate the Blooms day and show their tribute to James Joyce. They had disastrous married life having two children. They parted their ways in the year 1962. Unfortunately the gifted poet Sylvia Plath assassinated herself in 1963. Hughes has created a profound impact on English Literature and his readers with his prolific writing and with his exclusive animal imagery. His animals are the primitive natural creations and are shining with their violence, primitive nature, cruelty and awfulness of their appearances and existences. In his writings nature emerges in its primitive form with its unique creatures that are vibrating with vigor and their special position and place amidst the vast nature. The creatures are asserting boastfully their wild existences and the essential exclusiveness of their existences for the perfect poise and sustainability of the eco-system of the physical world. Hughes’ use of vivid imagery and poignant symbolism and skilful picturization of the wild animals in the natural setting make his poetry lively and create a long-lasting impact in the readers’ mind such is the power of his artistic excellence that it capture the readers mind instantly and cast a permanent impact in his psyche. Ted Hughes is famous as an animal writer and he writes poetry for children also.
