"Stubbing Wharfe" - Ted Hughes

One of my favorite poems! Too long to reprint here and I can't find it on google to cut and paste, but WOW! You can recite your poetry at a famous poetry landmark! Kewl! Do you like Hughes? His Birthday Letters and Crow are brilliant.

I can't believe you live up there. Hebden Bridge?
