Description
Make No Mistake threads connections between the human and the natural world in a quest for clarity at the borders of what we know and see. In poems prepared to 'look up' with an acute gaze that sees 'a hawk / stealth away from the wood's edge', Hughes admits the limits of 'what we could safely speak' - yet affirms that even in a 'burning city' or 'galactic cold' you may 'let only your heart decide'.
