Book description
'An absolute gem ... I was delightfully lost by the river throughout' - Paul Whitehouse'Marvellous…The Catch leaves both its writer and its reader wonderfully "lost in water"' - Robert Macfarlane'Penetrating and poetic, filled with honeyed prose and thoughtful criticism' - The Times_______________It is in the midst of a swirling river, casting a line, that Mark Wormald meets Ted Hughes.He stands where the poet stood, forty years ago, because fishing was Ted Hughes's way of breathing – and because the poet's writing has made Mark understand that it has always been his way of breathing, too.Using Hughes's poetry collection River and his fishing diaries as a guide, Mark returns again and again to the rivers and lakes in Britain and Ireland where the poet fished. At times, he uses Ted's fly patterns; at others his rods. It is an obsession; a fundamental connection to nature; a thrilling wildness; an elemental pursuit. But it is also a release and a consolation, as Mark fishes after the sudden death of his mother and during the slow fading of his father.A brilliant blend of memoir and biography, The Catch is a stunning meditation on poetry and nature, and a quiet reflection on what it means to be a father and a son.
