The Hawk in the Rain by Ted Hughes
3.0

When it's good (eg. September), it's brilliant. When it's bad (eg. Secretary), it's sexist and has some serious sexual harassment connotations. Putting aside the problematic content, it was an an enjoyable read. Bittersweet and calming.

"I do not hold you closer and harder than love
By a desperation, show me no home."

"Under the silk of the wrist a sea, tell
Time is nowhere."
