Collected Animal Poems Vol 3: A March Calf by Ted Hughes gathers the former poet laureate's animal poems from various of his books, including Season Songs, Moortown Diary, Flowers and Insects, Elmet, River, Lupercal and Hawk in the Rain.

From the trembling new-born calf in Season Songs to the gently sleeping one recorded in Moortown Diary, animal life as observed in the pages of Flowers and Insects, Elmet, River, Lupercal and Hawk in the Rain is seen afresh through the diversity and imaginative energy of this collected volume.
