Thanks for that. I didn't know Gaudete was made into a film. That is, I know it began life as a film script, or notes towards a film script, but didn't know a film ever actually came out of that.
Ted Hughes co-founded MPT. And yes, among his influences were a number of European poets and writers. I'm sure that would be fertile territory, though I was kind of hoping for some information on things I don't know, i.e. his influence, if any, within the experimental poetry community. I've been researching TH for years, but only within mainstream poetry.
My research is to do with poets, especially contemporary poets, who were influenced by Hughes. Not the other way round. Simon Turner has a poem now on Hand & Star, subtitled 'after Hughes', for instance.
