Faber, 1957. 1st edition. Hardcover. Fine blue boards with yellow spine lettering, minutely bumped at spine ends, very clean pages and endpapers, no foxing, in a near very fine dustjacket with red and blue lettering on a strong yellow background, not price-clipped, small pieces of conservation at spine ends. Very nice copy of the first impression of Hughes's first collection of verse.

The Hawk in the Rain is Ted Hughes's first collection of poems, released in 1957. It features themes of nature, humanity's struggle, and powerful, evocative imagery.
