Ted Hughes. Stated first U.S. edition, first printing. New York: Harper and Row, 1979. Both unclipped dust jacket (in a mylar wrapper) and hardcover, are in Near Fine condition. No writing or markings in this well-preserved collectible copy, which appears unread, 182 pp. Jacket design by the great Leonard Baskin.
This collection stands as one of Hughes’ most personal and powerful works—a poetic chronicle of rural farm life, drawn from his own experiences working in Devon. Raw, elemental, and deeply observant, Moortown captures the harsh beauty of nature and labor with unmatched intensity.
A standout modern poetry collectible from one of the 20th century’s most important voices—ideal for collectors of Hughes, poetry first editions, and nature writing.
Jacket design by Leonard Baskin adds further collectible appeal.
