A first edition, first printing published by Faber in 1957. A very good+ book with some spotting to the endpapers and to the page edges (as is common with this title) and a little mottling to the boards. SIGNED (with best wishes from) Ted Hughes to the front endpaper. In a very good+ unclipped wrapper with a little repair to the spine tips and corners. Complete with the rare wrap-around band, stating the book to be 'The Choice of the Poetry Book Society'. Exceptionally rare signed and with the band. The Author's masterpiece and first collection of poems.

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.
