Ted Hughes' Birthday Letters Wins The 1999 Whitbread Award

Short news clip of Ted Hughes' poetry collection Birthday Letters winning the 1999 Whitbread award for poetry. The award is accepted by Frieda Hughes, the daughter of Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath. Frieda's physical resemblance to Sylvia is uncanny, and her voice has the same deep, rich quality as Sylvia's.

Her voice eerily echoes Sylvia's inflections and gravity.

@sarabower1 You are probably right. I regret making the comment now. Think I let my emotions get the best of me when I typed it.

100 years from now people will be talking about Sylvia Plath and very few will give a damn about Ted Hughes.

I agree!
