SPAIN SPAIN SPAIN February 28, 2007
Posted by amanda in : Uncategorized , trackbackSo, on friday I get to go to Spain for Spring break!!!!
My roommate and I will be in Barcelona for a week and i’m totally excited. My original plan was to find out where Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes spent their honeymoon so that it would be a relevant vacation rather than just a vacation vacation. Unfortunatly, they stayed in Benidorm, Spain and that is pretty far away from where we’ll be, so we probably won’t make it over there. Fortunately, I found this Ted Hughes poem “You Hated Spain” from Birthday Letters so if I decide to trust Ted Hughes just this once I can feel guilt-free for not pursuing Plath in Spain. I don’t know if I can or can’t, I need to review her journal entries from that trip but in either case, here is a link to Ted Hughes reading the poem. Although it might not be him….this is debatable

That can’t be Ted Hughes reading the poem, can it? It sounds nothing like him - rather like a young man.
To be quite honest, I don’t know. I’ve listened to a couple of audio files of Hughes reading. It could be him, but it might not be. I’ll fix that entry to make it less certain
